Legal analysis: the housing maintenance fund is not paid every year, but is collected at one time. With the change of property rights, the ownership changes and the house survives. Its owner is all the owners, and individuals cannot use it. Usually when the house is delivered, it is collected by the developer and deposited in a special account. There is no maintenance fund in the second-hand market.

Legal basis: Article 53 of the Property Management Regulations, the owners of residential properties, non-residential properties in residential quarters or non-residential properties connected with a single residential building structure shall pay special maintenance funds in accordance with relevant state regulations.

Special maintenance funds shall be owned by the owners, and shall be used exclusively for the maintenance, renewal and transformation of property parts and facilities after the expiration of the property warranty period, and shall not be used for other purposes.

Measures for the collection, use and management of special maintenance funds shall be formulated by the construction administrative department of the State Council in conjunction with the finance department of the State Council.
