When it comes to property management, many property owners are filled with indignation because too many community properties only charge property fees and do not do any actual work. The owners of some communities are very disgusted with the property, but there is no way not to pay. Property management routines are complex and too many fees are unreasonable. Let’s learn how owners should safeguard their rights after renovation and move-in.
1. Let’s take a look at which fees do not need to be paid
1. Pay property fees in advance
I believe that buyers who buy new houses know that during the house inspection , many property management companies will require the owner to prepay the property management fee when the owner confirms that the house has been taken over. Generally, it is paid three months to one year in advance. If the owner does not pay this fee, he may not be able to get the key to the new house. This situation is actually very common, but in fact, according to relevant regulations, the property company cannot charge in advance against the owner's wishes. Even if it is approved, the advance payment cannot exceed six months' fees, so if the property company compulsorily pays Or using this as a threat to not provide the key to the new house is not acceptable. When encountering this situation, the owner can complain to the property management department.
2. Equipment maintenance costs
In fact, this cost is basically not needed in the early stage of a newly built community. A newly built community must have equipment and facilities. Brand new equipment, where does the maintenance fee come from? But even with this, the property owner will still charge you this fee. Some communities do not start greening construction until a few years after the house is handed over, but they start paying greening maintenance fees from the time the house is handed over. Some owners may think this is unreasonable, but they cannot explain the problem. Some owners You may choose to refuse to pay the fee to protest, but in the end you are unreasonable. In this situation, you don’t know who to approach to defend your rights, so you have to endure it.
3. Revenue from public facilities
I believe many people will see bulletin boards or elevator TVs in the community. These places are generally full of advertisements. Maybe I passed by to take a look, but I wonder if you have ever thought about where the income from these advertisements went? Who agreed to the advertisements? According to relevant regulations, these places in the community are jointly owned by the owners of the community. , if you need to place advertisements or do other things, you need the consent of the community owners, and the income also belongs to the community owners. Generally speaking, these incomes are used for the maintenance of public facilities in the community, and the property management can charge a certain amount. fee. However, for such advertising, the owners do not know exactly where the proceeds are spent? Or whose wallet it goes into. None of us know.
2. What are the steps for house decoration?
1. Before decoration, you must first choose a reliable decoration company. Usually, regular decoration companies will provide users with a Complete house design drawings will also help you understand problems that may easily arise during the home decoration process and keep detailed data records.
2. After designing the drawings, the next step is to select a date to start construction, make a reasonable layout of the entire frame of the house, remove and modify the walls, shovel the wall skin, etc. to make the frame of the house Show it.
3. After the disassembly and modification are completed, measure the installation position of the cabinets, and reserve the positions for oil smoke pipes and sockets at the required installation positions. Since the modification of water and electricity is a hidden project in home decoration, , so that every link should be taken seriously to avoid causing trouble in the later decoration.
4. After the water and electricity transformation is completed, the carpentry, bricklayers and painters can be decorated in order. Start with the carpentry first. The carpentry generally includes projects such as the shape of the ceiling and large wardrobes. The bricklayer refers to the wall. and the basic construction and treatment of the ground, while the painter is the final improvement work on the two projects of carpentry and bricklaying.
5. After the painting is completed, it is time to install the kitchen and bathroom ceilings. Usually, it is better to choose integrated ceilings or aluminum gusset ceilings for kitchen and bathroom ceilings, because they have better waterproof and anti-corrosion effects. , the next step is to install the cabinets and bathroom sanitary ware, and install them strictly in accordance with the design drawings given by the decoration company.
6. After the above steps are completed, a series of later installations will be carried out. The later installation is a complete project, including the installation of floors, wallpaper laying, and various electrical appliances. The installation as well as the installation of lighting fixtures and hardware installation can all be completed at this stage.
3. What should you pay attention to before decorating your house?
1. Full-package repair
Full-package repair is a popular decoration method nowadays. It is simple. It is said that it is a one-stop service for decoration. The owner only needs to accept and pay after the decoration is completed. Many owners think that all-inclusive means that everything is included in the decoration. In fact, this is not the case. Not everything is listed in the all-inclusive method. Therefore, you must negotiate clearly when signing a contract. Various economic disputes may arise due to price factors. Of course, a few decoration companies will take advantage of the opportunity to fake goods and deceive customers with shoddy products.
2. Half-package repair
Half-package repair can avoid many of the disadvantages of full-package repair, because half-package repair allows the owner to purchase materials and can control the cost and quality of materials. , you can also match any style. However, half-package repair requires the owner to have certain decoration knowledge. If you are not familiar with the quality of the product, you will often suffer a lot of losses. In addition, buying materials yourself may also cause disputes with the construction company.
3. The design plan must be sufficient
The early design plan must be fully prepared, so that the efficiency can be improved during the decoration construction and the decoration budget can be reduced. The owner should formulate the overall design plan as early as possible. If the owner prepares the materials for decoration by himself, he needs to arrange the order of purchasing and preparing materials slightly ahead of the decoration process to avoid delaying the construction period. In addition, the decoration design must be carefully considered and comprehensive to avoid repeated modifications during the decoration process to avoid unnecessary waste.
As for the property management of the community, it is recommended that the owners can learn more about the relevant knowledge of property management. They should not blindly agree to some unreasonable requests made by the community and pay for them. They should still protect themselves. rights and interests. We must make preparations for house decoration and make our house more beautiful and comfortable.
