According to Article 28 of the Measures for the Administration of Residential Special Maintenance Funds, when the ownership of the house is transferred, the owner shall explain the deposit and balance of the residential special maintenance funds to the transferee and issue a valid certificate, and the balance of the residential special maintenance funds in the housing sub-ledger shall be transferred with the ownership of the house at the same time. The transferee shall go through the formalities of renaming the sub-ledger at the special account management bank with the Transfer Agreement of Special Housing Maintenance Funds, the Property Ownership Certificate and the ID card.
However, due to various reasons, the owner of the first-hand house may not pay the maintenance fund, which should be paid by both parties through consultation. Second-hand housing buyers should pay special attention to this when buying a house. The former owner did not pay (the fee).
What's more, the maintenance funds paid for the first time have been used, which is less than one third of the standard, and may be required to make up.
