The maintenance fund can only be used for the maintenance of houses in the community. The custody, supervision and management of the maintenance fund are owned by the Property Management Office of the Real Estate Bureau.
The house maintenance fund is generally transferred to the name of the house buyer. It only indicates that the house has been paid into the maintenance fund and the amount. It does not mean that the owner has the right to control the funds.

After the relevant owners organize the implementation, they will apply to the real estate authority for expenditures based on relevant information; 4. After review and approval by the real estate authority,
Issue a notice to transfer maintenance funds to the special account management bank; 5. The exclusive management bank transfers the required maintenance funds to the maintenance unit.
