The owner’s own car parking space property service fee shall also be included in the government guide price management; property service fee shall not be received in advance; no less than 5 access control cards per household shall be provided for the owner free of charge.... “Huizhou City Property Service Charge Management Implementation Measures” (below The “Measures”) recently arrived in Taiwan and formally implemented on October 1 this year. The Municipal Price Bureau accepted an exclusive interview with this newspaper yesterday and interpreted the Measures.

In recent years, complaints and complaints concerning the dispute over property service fees in our city have increased. Last year alone, the Municipal Price Bureau handled 2,468 complaints and consultations on various types of prices, of which about 700 involved property service charges. However, the current method of property charge management is the “Provisional Regulations on the Administration of Property Services Charges in Huizhou City” (hereinafter referred to as “Provisional Regulations”) promulgated and implemented in 2005. There are no clear provisions on some new situations and new issues, making it impossible for some property fee disputes to be resolved. Effectively resolved.

Since 2008, the city has been brewing new regulations on property charges and plans to implement it in 2009. However, during the period, the provincial government revised the "Guangdong Provincial Property Management Regulations" (which was implemented on March 1 last year) and introduced the provincial-level property management fee management measures (has been implemented since April 1 this year). The city’s new regulations on property charges are being brewed so it has been repeatedly grounded. After continuous argumentation, research and multi-party consultation, combined with difficult issues and hot spots encountered in management practices, the "Measures" have finally been introduced in the near future.

The Municipal Price Bureau Market Supervision Section Zhong Jincheng told reporters that compared with the “provisional regulations”, the “measures” in the real estate service charge management model, the charging standards, the cost structure, the sharing of utilities, decoration charge management and pass (including IC card) Management and other aspects have made new adjustments.

Zhong Jincheng also stated that the "Measures" were issued in the form of government orders and that the period of validity was five years. To ensure the continuity of the policies, it is necessary to consider that some fees and charges will change with changes in the actual cost incurred. Therefore, the "Measures" More is the principle content.

“Methods” Interpretation of Change 1 Property service fee is charged monthly. Case: In March of this year, Mr. Ke, a citizen, paid for the house purchased in downtown Melbourne. When handling the formalities for repossession, the property company proposes to receive 3 months of property management fees and utilities, and if it fails to do so, it will not be able to go through the formalities for repossession.

Interpretation: According to the “provisional regulations”, property service fees are charged according to the legal property rights building area, and some existing property companies are charged monthly or in advance. Therefore, the management fee for three months or six months in advance may be encountered by many people. “After the real estate service company will raise the management fee in advance, the public can steadfastly refuse.” According to Zhong Jincheng, Article 16 of the Measures stipulates: “Property service fees shall be calculated based on the building area of ​​the property determined in accordance with the law on a monthly basis.”

In addition, the “Measures” also clearly stipulates the “measures” for the prepaid of utility bills or hydropower working capital, “in the realty management area, units such as water supply, power supply, gas supply, communications, cable digital television, etc. shall collect relevant fees from end users. If an enterprise accepts the entrustment to collect the above-mentioned fees, it may collect commissions from the entrusting unit, but it may not collect fees or utilities for the owners.”

Change 2 Self-owned parking fees included in the guide price Case: The public Wang Kefeng spent 80,000 yuan to buy a parking space in the community. However, what puzzles him is that the property company will also receive his 80 yuan service fee every month. "A lot of friends around have bought parking spaces. Why are service fees different?" Wang Kefeng said.

Interpretation: According to the reporter’s investigation, the service fees charged by the property companies in the urban areas are not uniform. The "Provisional Regulations" did not deal with this. According to the "Measures", before the establishment of the owners' meeting, the residential property (including the parking spaces and garages owned by the owner) will be subject to government guidance. After the establishment of villas, non-residential houses, and owners' houses (including parking spaces and garages owned by the owners), the real estate service charges are subject to market adjustment prices.

"The "measures" also stipulate that owner-occupied parking spaces and garage service fees will be calculated based on the number of parking spaces and garages." Zhong Jincheng said that the regulations concerning self-owned parking spaces and garages clarified that property management companies could not purchase parking spaces for owners. The garage service fee will be priced on its own, which is expected to solve the chaotic and excessively high standards for the current property parking (garage) property service charges.

Change 3 The production cost of the access control card should be publicized. Case: Mr. Chen, a property owner in the urban area of ​​Dongping District, complained to the newspaper that the residential property management office only provided three access control cards, but his own family had five people and was not enough. No way but to the property company, spent 100 yuan to buy two access control cards.

Interpretation: The “Provisional Regulations” does not address the issue of the number of access control cards. Although the “Circular on Strengthening the Management of Property Service Charges in Huizhou Municipality” promulgated in 2007 regulates this, it only proposes that it should be provided free of charge for the owner. Not less than 3 passes (cards).

Zhong Jincheng said that the "Measures" not only proposed that the owner should be provided free of charge, not less than one per household, and not less than one pass for each vehicle (including IC cards). The owner was also requested to supplement the pass (including IC card). The production cost of the pass (including IC card) may be charged for the cost of the work, but "the cost of production shall be displayed for not less than 7 days in a conspicuous place in the community to accept the supervision of the owner."

Change 4 The decoration garbage cleaning fee will be guided by the case: Yang Juan, the owner of the 14th District Orchard Building in Jiangbei District of the city, reflects that the residential property charges a garbage cleaning fee of RMB 7 per square meter. “Renovation of a house of about 120 square meters, The decoration waste disposal fee actually costs more than 800 yuan, and it is basically for the owner not to bargain.”

Interpretation: The “Provisional Measures” does not contain too many provisions on decoration. The “Circular on Strengthening the Management of Property Services Charges in Huizhou City” promulgated in 2007 has improved the rules. It stipulates that the garbage generated from renovations and property management enterprises must not Fees, if voluntarily entrusted to the property management company, the clear freight and porting fees shall be negotiated between the owner and the property management company.

“There will be a government-guided price for future garbage cleanup fees. Currently, cost investigations have been completed. The supporting fees will be introduced as soon as possible.” Zhong Jincheng said that the “Measures” specified the charges during the renovation period. It stipulates that "the owner (property user) entrusted the property service company to clean up the decoration garbage, residual mud and residue soil, and the clear freight collection standard shall be determined by the local price authority in conjunction with the real estate administrative department in accordance with relevant state and provincial regulations."

The change 5 pre-charge standards should be reported to the government for verification: Mr. Yang, who lives in the Jiangbei district of the city, said that the residential property service level is a class I. According to the charges announced by the Municipal Price Bureau, the property service fee should be 1.1 yuan per square meter. However, when the property was purchased, the property had a standard of 1.5 yuan per square meter, which was higher than the government's guidance price.

Interpretation: The "Measures" have a clear provision for this, "Newly built residential real estate service charges need to exceed the level of the government guidance, the real estate service enterprises to the local price department to apply for, and the local price authorities in conjunction with the real estate Competent authorities approved.” Zhong Jincheng believes that the government’s guideline management of real estate service charges implements a filing system, which facilitates price authorities to keep abreast of the specific conditions of property management fees in the early stage of property management, and avoid property management fees stipulated in the real estate service contract exceeding the government’s guiding price. Problems occur and stop arbitrary charges.

In addition, the "Measures" also stipulates that the pre-property service contract shall specify the content of the property service level, the charging item, the charging standard, the billing method, and the billing start time. The contents of the property service fees and charges specified in the pre-property service contracts for newly-built dwellings shall be publicized at a conspicuous position at the trading place from the day before the sale of the property to the end of the sale.

Change 6 charges controversial to find price department coordination case: the public Mr. Lin lived in a villa community, the property developed the property charge standard is 2.2 yuan / square meter, many owners feel too expensive.

Interpretation: The Measures stipulate that if the fees for property services are disputed, the owners, property owners, owners' committees, or real estate service companies may apply to the competent pricing department where the realty is located for negotiation and mediation. “The price authority is responsible for negotiating the mediation of disputes over property service charges.” Zhong Jincheng said that regarding the contradiction between mediation and price negotiation, the Municipal Price Bureau had had successful cases before, so this provision was added in the “Measures”.
