Can the balcony of the house be sealed by itself?

Editor's note: Can the balcony be sealed? Who's in charge? Many car owners have encountered this problem. Some owners believe that the balcony is bought by themselves, whether it is sealed or not is their own private matter, and others have no right to interfere. However, at present, the property management of many residential areas clearly stipulates that owners cannot seal balconies privately. Can the balcony be sealed, how, and who will take care of it?

Case of buying a house: Mr. Li has been in trouble recently The new house has just been delivered recently. He was very happy, but there was a contradiction with the property company during the renovation. When buying a house, Mr. Li took a fancy to the large balcony facing south of this house. At that time, he planned to seal the balcony when decorating and make it into a small sunny study. But recently, when Mr. Li was decorating his new house, he was told by the property that the balcony could not be sealed, which is a property regulation. Mr. Li wondered: the balcony was bought by himself, why should the property company manage it?

Editor on duty: Some property companies in many communities in Wuhan have owners who can't seal balconies privately. The reason is very simple: the balcony is included in the property area by half, and the owner only owns the property right of his balcony except the appearance right. Because the interior and exterior walls of the balcony belong to the fa? ade, and the fa? ade belongs to all owners. When you go to the property, you can check the property mapping report, which contains detailed drawings to explain how the area of your home is calculated. The outer half wall (the outer half side with half the thickness of the outer wall) belongs to the pool area. If you change the material and color of the balcony interior wall without authorization, such as sticking rubble, it is the change of the facade, which infringes on the ownership of the facade by all owners. Of course, the balcony itself is also a part of the facade modeling, and closing the balcony changes the facade. Changing the facade requires the consent of all owners. For example, if someone wants to hang an advertisement on the facade, or if the property wants to paint the whole building in different colors, everyone's consent must be obtained. This is also a fact.

What are the consequences of the balcony closing itself? If an owner voluntarily signs the owners' convention and then seals the balcony without authorization, the property company can only persuade the owner, not forcibly remove it. If it is an illegal building that needs to be demolished by force, it can only be carried out by a special management department, and the rest will be demolished by the owner himself.

Some owners think that the unsealed balcony will have a certain impact on property safety, so how to seal the balcony reasonably?

Although most property companies do not support the owners to seal the balcony without authorization, if the owners find it inconvenient after moving in, they must seal the balcony with the consent of the owners' Committee and change the original contract terms. Then go to the district housing authority to handle the decoration approval letter, which clearly indicates that the balcony should be sealed, and then the balcony can be sealed. Don't worry that the owners' committee has not been established in the community. You can initiate more than 20% of the owners to form a motion, and then more than two-thirds of the owners agree.
