The public * * * maintenance fund refers to the maintenance fund for residential * * * parts and facilities and equipment, which is specially used for overhaul, medium repair, renewal and transformation of residential * * * parts and facilities and equipment after the warranty period expires. Over time, developers can no longer be responsible for maintenance, nor can they be maintained by any owner alone. Therefore, a maintenance fund must be established to ensure the subsequent normal use of the property and safeguard the interests of the owners and users.
The maintenance fund is paid by the owner to the selling unit, and the maintenance fund collected by the selling unit belongs to all owners and is not included in the residential sales income. It can be seen that this fund should be paid by the owner to the selling unit, and its nature belongs to the owner.
