What does the property provide to pay the property fee?

For various reasons, the phenomenon that the owners refuse to pay the property fee occurs from time to time. Some reasons are justified, while others are not. What are the consequences of refusing to pay property fees? Let's analyze it in detail. Refusing to pay property fees with justifiable reasons is of course a manifestation of safeguarding rights, but refusing to pay property fees without justifiable reasons may lead to a series of risks. First of all, refusing to pay without justifiable reasons constitutes a breach of contract, and the direct consequence is that it needs to bear the liability for breach of contract. What kind of liability for breach of contract, whether to bear liquidated damages, needs to be determined according to the specific terms of the property service contract. Second, it may face litigation risks. Failure to pay property fees constitutes a breach of contract, and the property management unit has the right to bring a lawsuit to the court. Finally, unpaid property management fees may affect your living experience. Therefore, it is suggested to pay the property fee in time without justifiable reasons.
