The first-phase maintenance fund for newly-built commercial housing is paid by real estate developers at 3%-4% of the cost per square meter of construction area; Property buyers pay 2%-3% per square meter of construction area. ■ Before the establishment of the owners' committee, the maintenance fund shall be supervised by the district and county real estate management departments where the property is located, and the principal and interest shall be owned by the owners, and no unit or individual may use it. After the establishment of the owners' committee, it shall sign an entrustment agreement with the city's commercial banks to open a maintenance fund account in the property management area for the overhaul, renewal and transformation of residential parts and facilities after the warranty period expires. I. How to Pay the Maintenance Fund of After-sale Public Housing According to the provisions of Shanghai Public Housing Fund F (1995) No.25 and Shanghai Housing Reform (1995) No.415, three funds are formed after the sale of public housing: maintenance fund, elevator pump fund and neighborhood maintenance fund, which are usually called "three funds". Among the "three funds", the maintenance fund is paid by the buyer and the seller in proportion to the house payment, and the elevator pump fund and the community maintenance fund are paid by the seller from the house payment income. Payment standard: the first maintenance fund shall be borne by the buyer and the seller respectively. (1) According to the provisions of the public housing sale plan issued by the municipal government, the calculation formula is = cost per square meter of construction area × proportion× area. The ratio is multi-layered: the buyer pays 1.5% and the seller pays 6%; Senior management: the buyer pays 1.5% and the seller pays 12%. (2) According to the scheme of 2001,the buyer: per square meter of construction area 18 yuan (the same for many high-rise buildings); Seller: The building area per square meter of multi-storey building is 7 1.88 yuan, and the building area per square meter of high-rise building is 143.76 yuan. 2. How to pay the maintenance fund for newly-built commercial housing The provisions of the Administrative Measures of Shanghai Municipality on Commercial Housing Maintenance Fund on the payment, account establishment and payment period of the first maintenance fund are generally implemented according to the following standards: 1. Payment of the first maintenance fund: real estate development enterprises and buyers of newly-built commercial houses should pay the first maintenance fund according to the following standards: for houses with elevators, real estate development enterprises should pay 4% of the construction area per square meter; For houses without elevators, real estate development enterprises shall pay 3% of the construction area per square meter. For the house with elevator installed, the purchaser shall pay 3% of the cost price per square meter of construction area; For houses without elevators, the purchaser shall pay 2% of the cost price per square meter of construction area. 2. Opening of a special account for maintenance funds: a special account should be opened for maintenance funds, and an account should be set up for each house in a property management area, and a sub-account should be set up for each house unit; If a house has two or more door numbers, an account shall be set up according to the door number, and the sub-accounts of each residential unit shall be separated. Before the establishment of the owners' committee, the maintenance fund shall be supervised by the district and county real estate management departments where the property is located, and the principal and interest shall be owned by the owners, and no unit or individual may use it. Property maintenance and renewal before the establishment of the owners' committee shall not use the maintenance fund, and the expenses shall be borne by the real estate development enterprises. After the establishment of the owners' committee, it shall sign an entrustment agreement with the city commercial bank to open a maintenance fund account in the property management area for the overhaul, renewal and transformation of residential parts and facilities after the expiration of the warranty period, and shall not be used for other purposes. 3. Time limit for paying the first maintenance fund: Real estate development enterprises and buyers of new commercial housing should pay the first maintenance fund according to the following time limit: (1) Real estate development enterprises should deposit the new commercial housing maintenance fund in a special bank before handling the initial registration of the ownership of new commercial housing; (2) The purchaser shall deposit the maintenance fund of the purchased commercial house into a special bank according to the standard before handling the registration of the change of real estate rights; (3) The real estate development enterprise shall, within 15 days after the establishment of the owners' committee, pay the maintenance fund according to the standard and deposit it in a special bank. Third, how to manage the maintenance fund In fact, in the early stage of property management (that is, before the establishment of the owners' committee), the property management company was selected by the developer, and the owners usually went to the property management company to check in and paid the property maintenance fund to it. Due to various reasons, the lack of effective supervision objectively makes it possible for developers to delay the payment of due property maintenance funds and property management companies to misappropriate property maintenance funds, especially for developers to delay the payment of property maintenance funds. In fact, the relevant administrative departments have regulations on the payment and management of property maintenance funds. According to the relevant regulations, both developers and buyers should pay the property maintenance fund when signing the house sales contract. During the prophase property management, the developer shall deposit the property maintenance fund into financial institutions in the name of the owners' committee and set up a special account, and no one may use it. After the establishment of the owners' committee, the developer shall transfer the property maintenance fund to the owners' committee, which shall entrust the property management unit to manage it, which shall be used exclusively for property maintenance and shall not be used for other purposes. However, developers and property companies are not completely in strict accordance with the law, which makes people think deeply. To really solve the dispute of property maintenance fund, the key is not where the money is saved, but a standardized management mechanism is needed.
