Hanoi has amended and supplemented several provisions of Decision No. 33/2025/QD-UBND, dated April 21, 2025, regarding the price bracket for apartment management and operation services within the city.
The new regulations, effective from February 23, 2026, aim to finalize the legal framework, ensure transparency in fee determination, and enhance the efficiency of state management over apartment operations.
Under the new guidelines, the minimum service fee for apartment buildings without elevators is set at VND700 ($0.02) per square meter per month, with a maximum of VND5,000 ($0.19). For buildings equipped with elevators, the minimum rate is VND1,200 per square meter per month, while the maximum is VND16,500.
The city authorities noted that this price bracket does not include fire and explosion insurance, remuneration for Apartment Management Board members, or revenues from premium services such as saunas, swimming pools, cable TV, Internet, and other high-end amenities.
In addition to adjusting the price bracket, Hanoi has amended Clause 2, Article 4 of the Decision regarding the responsibilities of People’s Committees at the commune and ward levels.
Specifically, these local authorities are tasked with leading inspections into the activities of developers, management units, and Management Boards concerning financial management for public-asset apartment services within their jurisdiction. They are also responsible for resolving disputes related to building operations.
For non-publicly owned apartments, commune and ward-level People’s Committees are responsible for resolving disputes over management and operation fees, as well as the handover, management, and use of maintenance funds for common ownership areas, in accordance with Housing Law No. 27/2023/QH15.
