How much is the decoration deposit?

Regarding the decoration deposit, the amount charged by each community is different. Some communities require a decoration deposit of about 2000-3000 yuan. However, in some places, it is expressly forbidden for property service enterprises not to collect decoration deposit or safety deposit from owners and property users.

1. In general, the purpose of collecting the decoration deposit is to prevent the illegal operation of the decoration construction team from harming others or the public interests and provide effective protection for the injured party. The purpose is to supervise and standardize the decoration behavior and compensate the interests of the party who has suffered losses due to the decoration.

2. According to Article 53 of the Regulations on Property Management in People's Republic of China (PRC), if the owner needs to decorate the house, he shall inform the property service enterprise in advance. The realty service enterprise shall inform the owners of the prohibited acts and matters needing attention in the house decoration.

Therefore, the property company only informs the owner of the obligation to decorate, and the law does not give it the power to collect the decoration deposit.
