Is it illegal to burn paper in public areas of residential buildings?

This is not illegal. It is a violation of management regulations and ethics.

1, the law refers to the universal, mandatory and inviolable provisions or mandatory standards formulated by government agencies such as the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), the State Council, the central government, the State Council ministries and commissions, the Central Military Commission, and provincial, city and county governments.

2. However, burning paper, lighting incense, setting off firecrackers and offering sacrifices to gods in public areas of residential buildings does not violate laws, regulations and policies and is not mandatory. For the behavior in Article 2, relevant clauses can only be found in the owner management statute and property management regulations, which are not universal, harmful to the public and do not violate the law.

3. In real estate management activities, the cost of dealing with such phenomena is actually more troublesome than illegal facts. The owner burned paper and blackened the floor, wall, top and vent of the corridor, so the owner needed to pay for the maintenance. Owners burning paper will attract complaints from other owners who don't burn paper. The government is standardizing customs and advocating civilized and scientific beliefs.

It is simple to solve this problem. As long as the owners burn paper in their own homes, there will be no problem, because the public corridor belongs to all owners, according to the provisions of the property management regulations. The owner needs to obtain the consent of more than two-thirds of the owners of the whole building and the whole unit. If everyone has no opinion, it is ok. If not, it will be difficult to deal with. There are constant complaints and disputes from owners, and property management is difficult to deal with.
