Although housing prices are very high now, they still cannot stop people from buying a house. After a buyer chooses a house, the developer will require the buyer to pay a part of the deposit first, and then pay the down payment. If the home buyer fails to be approved for a mortgage loan, he may have to pay liquidated damages. So what is the liquidated damages for checking out after paying a down payment of 300,000 for buying a house? Next, let’s learn more about it with the editor of Yingting Law Firm!

After paying a down payment of 300,000 yuan to buy a house, how much is the penalty for moving out?
In fact, most developers require a down payment of 3%-5% for liquidated damages. If the down payment is 300,000 yuan, the liquidated damages are about 9,000-15,000 yuan. If the loan is rejected and it is a problem with the bank or the developer, then there is no need to pay liquidated damages when the down payment is returned.

When signing a house sales contract, liquidated damages should be agreed upon. If the contract stipulates 10%, then I will bear 10% of the liquidated damages. If there is a stipulation in the contract, liquidated damages are generally paid in accordance with the contract provisions, but the gap between the agreed amount and the actual loss cannot be too large. In addition, liquidated damages refer to according to the agreement of the parties or direct provisions of the law. If one party breaches the contract, money should be paid to the other party.

The purpose of liquidated damages stipulated by law is mainly to protect the corresponding losses suffered by the non-breaching party due to the breach of contract. When one party violates the contract, the breaching party needs to pay liquidated damages to compensate the non-breaching party. According to the "Contract Law", if one party to a contract violates the contract, the other party has the right to terminate the contract and require the other party to pay liquidated damages.

According to the relevant regulations of our country, liquidated damages for check-out cannot exceed 30% of the damage suffered by the other party, and liquidated damages must be paid according to the contract.
