This weekend, many people were discussing the newly introduced housing pension, and there were many interpretations that this was a variant of property tax. The government explained that this money will be used to provide housing for the elderly in the future, that is, some old houses that have been in disrepair for a long time need regular inspections and maintenance to protect the safety of residents, and the relevant expenses will be paid from the housing pension.

I guess most people vaguely remember paying a public maintenance fund when buying a house, which is about 2% of the total house price. The purpose of paying this money is to maintain and repair the house in the future.

But most people have no idea where the money goes after they pay it, right? I was not very clear before, but I checked it out these two days. Before the establishment of the owners' committee, the money was managed by the local government housing management department and deposited in the bank. After the establishment of the owners' committee, it was managed by the owners' meeting.
