Legal analysis: At present, China's laws do not stipulate that you have to pay late fees if you don't pay special maintenance funds for houses, but you can't get the houses you buy without paying funds.

Legal basis: Article 13 of the Measures for the Administration of Special Maintenance Funds for Residential Buildings fails to deposit the first special maintenance funds for residential buildings according to the provisions of these Measures, the development and construction unit or the public housing sale unit shall not deliver the houses to the buyers.
