Under what circumstances can the housing maintenance fund be used?
The housing maintenance fund is used for large and medium-sized repair and renovation projects of the main structure, public parts and public facilities and equipment of the house after the warranty period expires.
The main load-bearing structures of houses include foundation, internal and external load-bearing walls, columns, beams, floors and roofs. Public parts refer to outdoor walls, hallways, stairwells, corridors, etc. Public facilities and equipment refer to water supply and drainage pipelines and equipment, distribution cables and equipment, elevators, public lighting, fire-fighting facilities, green spaces, roads, ditches, non-operating parking garages, public cultural and sports facilities and other facilities and equipment owned and used by the owner. The maintenance fund is managed by the Housing Authority, and the application process is complicated.
How to collect the housing maintenance fund?
1. The sales unit shall be drawn from the sales price according to a certain proportion. In principle, multi-storey houses shall not be less than 20% of the selling price, and high-rise houses shall not be less than 30% of the selling price. Property buyers shall pay the maintenance fund to the selling unit in accordance with the proportion of 2% of the purchase price.
2. The maintenance fund collected by the selling unit belongs to all owners and is not included in the residential sales income.
Commercial housing in China needs to pay relevant fees when it is sold. The related expense standard is 2%-3% of the total house price of this kind of house, and the corresponding payment is made. Such expenses are used for corresponding house maintenance. Once the house has problems, you can apply for the maintenance of this kind of house.

The competent departments of construction (real estate) of the people's governments of municipalities directly under the central government, cities and counties shall, according to local conditions, reasonably determine and announce the amount of the first-phase residential special maintenance fund deposited per square meter of construction area, and make timely adjustments.
