How to use the new house maintenance fund
1. In the residential area where there is no committee, if the owners want to use the housing maintenance fund, they should apply when the public facilities or public areas are seriously damaged, and obtain the consent of more than half of the owners in the residential area or the owners who account for more than half of the total area. Then the owner entrusts the property company to apply to the relevant management department (Property Management Office of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau) to use the housing maintenance fund, and the Property Management Office of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau checks the relevant situation. If the situation is true, it is necessary to publicize the maintenance situation in the community and determine the budget amount. After the expiration of the publicity period, the bidding matters shall be implemented and the construction shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant procedures. After the completion of the project, after the audit by the audit firm, the settlement shall be made according to the determined amount.
2. If the owners' committee has been set up in the community, when using the maintenance fund, the industry committee should confirm the necessity of maintenance according to the owners' reflection and some potential safety hazards found in the usual work inspection. Then initiate the owners' meeting, and after the owners' meeting votes, authorize the industry Committee to carry out relevant maintenance bidding. The owners' committee may apply for or authorize the property to apply for related maintenance matters. After being examined and confirmed by the Property Management Office of the Housing and Construction Bureau, it will be publicized in the whole community together with the announcement and budget. Then implement it according to the bidding procedure. After the acceptance of the project construction is completed, the audit firm will audit and settle the accounts according to the audit results.
