Do I have to pay for floor heating? Is there a law?

There is no legal basis for heating costs. Commercial housing sales must be clearly marked in accordance with state regulations, and operators must publicly indicate the sales price of commercial housing to buyers, and shall not charge any fees other than the publicly indicated commercial housing price. Illegal owners can report to the competent price department, bring a lawsuit and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

Should tenants who don't turn on the heating pay the heating fee?

At present, there are two heating methods in China, namely radiator heating and floor heating. You must pay a certain fee if you want to warm up. The annual heating cost is about 2-3,000 yuan, which is also a big expense for many families. So some middle-class families, once heating upstairs and downstairs, will keep their houses warm. This way can also save a lot of money for yourself. Such people are also called warm people. This kind of behavior will certainly make the owners dissatisfied, and the heating bill they pay will also bring convenience to others. However, in Mo Min's view, whether this fee is paid is a personal wish, and others have no right to interfere, which will also lead to many contradictions.

For households who don't turn on the heating, should they charge heating fees and how?

First of all, some owners said that after they bought the house, they went to work in other places, basically not at home, because no one lived there and they could not enjoy the so-called warm-up. Do they have to pay the warm-up fee again? Secondly, some owners said that if you choose to turn on air conditioning or other heating methods in winter, you naturally don't need heating. Why do you have to pay the "heating fee"?

In this regard, some experts said that the way of "one meter per household, charging by meter" can be adopted, so that owners can choose to turn on and off heating independently, and owners can turn on the heating system at home. If you go out, you can also turn off the heating yourself and charge according to the amount of heating. This can also alleviate the phenomenon of rubbing, which is fairer to some people who are not at home often and need to pay the heating bill.

For households who don't turn on the heating, should they charge heating fees and how?

In the statement issued by People's Daily, it is clearly pointed out that it is illegal to collect heating fees, which should be stopped by the local authorities and the owners can also protect their rights according to law. As soon as this article was published, many companies and properties that charged heating fees also stopped charging.

For households who don't turn on the heating, should they charge heating fees and how?

Therefore, it is obviously illegal to collect heating fees, and local government departments should stop it according to law. Owners can report to the competent price department or bring a lawsuit to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
