Let the house pay the maintenance fund if it is not accepted.

Under normal circumstances, the developer will collect the property maintenance fund and deed tax in advance before handing over the house. The deed tax is charged according to the area measured by the Housing Authority, but the developer will charge the fee in advance. Generally, the maintenance fund will be paid before moving in, and the deed tax will be paid when running the house. However, in order to save trouble, developers will collect the keys together when they get them. In fact, it doesn't matter when, it will be returned sooner or later! As long as there is no overcharge, just issue a receipt! At present, there are two types of houses that need to pay maintenance funds:

1. For the purchase of new commercial housing, the state stipulates that the maintenance fund is a small part of the total price of commercial housing, which is used for residential buildings with elevators (also known as high-rise residential buildings).

2. For the sale of public houses (reformed houses), the state has special calculation procedures, including calculating the total house price, discount on the new rate of houses, one-time payment discount, discount on service life, floor orientation and other factors, and the maintenance fund is also included (in the payable house payment). When public houses are sold, they shall be paid together with the maintenance fund, and individuals shall not pay separately. In addition, when buying and selling second-hand houses, the seller can't withdraw the money from the maintenance fund account, which is generally treated according to the same amount paid by the buyer to the seller in the maintenance fund account, which is equivalent to the buyer paying the maintenance fund of the house. Concept of maintenance fund: the maintenance fund is the "pension" of the house and does not follow the house. No matter how the owners change, the maintenance fund still belongs to the house, and the property owner can't withdraw the maintenance fund, so he can only "settle" the maintenance fund with the buyer.

legal ground

Article 28 1 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC)

The maintenance fund of the building and its ancillary facilities belongs to the owner. With the consent of the owner, it can be used for local maintenance, renewal and transformation of elevators, roofs, external walls and barrier-free facilities. The collection and use of maintenance funds for buildings and their ancillary facilities shall be announced regularly.

In case of emergency, if the building and its ancillary facilities need to be repaired, the owners' assembly or the owners' committee may apply for the maintenance funds of the building and its ancillary facilities according to law.
