Accordingly, the scope of adjustment of the Regulation is to regulate the price framework for management and operation services of apartment buildings in Hung Yen province that are invested and constructed in compliance with the provisions of law on construction, housing, fire prevention and fighting and other relevant regulations (including apartment buildings used as workers' accommodation in industrial parks) except for the following cases: The old apartment buildings belonging to public property that have not been renovated or rebuilt; the apartment buildings only for students and workers to live in a collective form with many people in one room (except for apartment buildings used as workers' accommodation in industrial parks); agreed upon the management service price at the Apartment Building Conference; there is a general agreement on the price of apartment building management and operation services in the apartment purchase and lease-purchase contract. The applicable subjects include: Investors of apartment building construction projects; apartment building owners, owner representatives; the apartment building management board; the apartment building management and operation units; apartment building users in the province; agencies, organizations and individuals related to the management and use of apartment buildings.

The Regulations on the price frame for apartment building management and operation services in Hung Yen province are as follows: The minimum price is 4,200 VND/m2 of floor/month; the maximum price is 7,000 VND/m2 of floor/month.

The price in the price frame includes: The cost of apartment building management and operation services; the value added tax and not including the revenues from service business belonging to the common ownership of the apartment building.

The price in the price frame does not include: The fire and explosion insurance costs, maintenance cost, parking cost, television services, communications, the remuneration for the apartment building management board and other service costs for the private use of the apartment building owner or user.
