who will pay for the second-hand housing maintenance fund

The housing maintenance fund is mainly used for projects such as the renewal and transformation of property, public facilities and equipment, and shall not be used for other purposes. Under normal circumstances, the original owner of the second-hand housing maintenance fund has already paid, and the second-hand housing seller does not need to pay the maintenance fund again.

1. The principle of "money goes with the house" is implemented in the special house maintenance fund. When the house is transferred, the balance in the account will also be transferred to the new owner of the house.

2. When the ownership of the house is transferred, the original owner will explain the deposit and balance of the maintenance fund to the new owner and issue a valid certificate (). At the same time, the maintenance fund remaining in the sub-ledger of the house will be transferred to the new owner with the ownership of the house.

3. However, if the original owner fails to pay the previous maintenance fund in full, it is necessary to discuss with the original owner and stipulate in the contract who will pay the rest. Because the housing maintenance fund must be paid, in the process of buying and selling second-hand houses, buyers must pay attention to asking the original owners about the maintenance fund.
