maintenance fund

Building repair savings

A maintenance fund is money set aside to cover upkeep and repair costs for shared property, typically in condominiums, homeowners associations, or commercial buildings.

Residents or owners contribute regularly to the fund, which pays for things like roof repairs, landscaping, and common area improvements: The HOA raised monthly dues to replenish the maintenance fund.
