Is it legal to put billboards in the community?

Legal analysis: illegal. Owners have the ownership of exclusive parts of buildings such as houses and business buildings, and have the right to co-manage the parts other than the exclusive parts. Without the consent of the owner, it is an infringement of the interests of the owner to set up billboards in the community and outside the community. With the consent of the community industry committee or the owners' meeting, the property has the right to make billboards in the community according to relevant laws and regulations, but the advertising income should be owned by all owners.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
