The maintenance fund can only be used after the warranty period. If it is still under warranty, it cannot be used. For the public facilities and public parts of the community, the real estate has a warranty period. If there is any fault during the warranty period, the real estate is responsible for the maintenance. As this expense is mainly used for the maintenance of public equipment or public parts, which involves public interests, the owner shall pay the special maintenance fund of the house according to 2% of the personal property area and construction area per square meter in the first special maintenance fund. Therefore, more than 2/3 of the owner's consent is required when using this fee.
