When the maintenance fund is idle, it shall not be used for other purposes except purchasing government bonds or risk-free financial management.

The specific collection standard of maintenance fund is determined by the local real estate management department according to the local actual situation.
When does the maintenance fund start?
The maintenance fund was implemented in 1998. The so-called maintenance fund is actually used for the repair and maintenance of public * * * areas and public * * * equipment in the community after the warranty period. Generally speaking, when buying a new house, the owner has to pay the public maintenance fund himself, which can be directly handed over to the developer, and then handed over by the developer, or directly handed over to the Housing Authority. If the community has set up a vocational school student committee, the owners' committee can set up a special account, and the funds can be directly transferred to this special account. Everyone has to pay the maintenance fund.
