Q: After purchasing the commercial housing, the developer started to charge the property fee when he offered the turnkey. Do I need to pay the property fee if I don't need the key for the time being?

A: The Scout Law Online Consultation will answer your question.

How to calculate the property fee,

According to the current laws and regulations, the charging items of public service charges in residential quarters mainly include: 1, salaries of management and service personnel and welfare funds extracted according to regulations; 2. Daily operation, maintenance and maintenance expenses of public facilities and equipment; 3. Greening management fee; 4. Cleaning and sanitation costs; 5. Security costs; 6. Office expenses; 7. Depreciation expense of fixed assets of the property management unit; 8. Statutory taxes and fees.

Collection standard of property fees: the collection standard of property fees does not adopt the unified government price, and the government-guided price and market-regulated price are respectively implemented according to the nature and characteristics of different properties. The owners of residential quarters can negotiate with the property service enterprises to determine the final collection standard.

Note: whether the property fee is expensive or not is related to the local real estate situation, depending on what price is implemented locally. There are government-guided prices and market-regulated prices. The government-guided price has government approval documents, and the market-adjusted price is determined by both parties through consultation. Now open tender is required to select property companies. In other words, the winning bid shall prevail.

Reminder: Generally, property fees need to be paid in advance when handing over the house. Other expenses include expenses during renovation. What I can tell you is that except that the property fee is justified, everything else may be improper.

Extended reading of related knowledge: When will the property management fee be collected?

1. The beginning of the owner's occupancy is that the owner goes to the residential property management office to check in, and the owner obtains the key to the new house. Because "sometimes the owner will rent the blank house directly, but in fact, he will have to pay 100% of the property management fee".

2. After the owner goes through the check-in formalities, the property management service fee shall be paid by the owner or user on a monthly basis, and for the owner who has purchased but has not checked in within one year, it shall be paid at 50% of the property management service fee standard. At the same time, in order to avoid some "real estate speculators" leaving their houses idle for a long time, it is stipulated that "those who do not move in after one year will pay the property management fee at 100%". The "Measures" did not clearly define the standard of "occupancy". Personally, I think the owner can't take the key as the boundary, but according to the situation reflected by Ms. Zhang, the house has been renovated, which means that someone is already using the house and starting to enjoy some supporting services in the community, so it is more reasonable to charge 50% of the property management fee.

3. National laws and regulations do not stipulate how often to pay property fees, so you can indicate the payment time of property fees in the signed property management contract.

According to the property management regulations, the property management company should check with the developer before handing over the house. After the acceptance, the property management company officially took over the community, so the information and keys of the houses that have been completed and accepted must be handed over to the property management company.

5. After receiving the notice of occupancy issued by the developer, the owner will start to pay the property fee according to the time on the notice of occupancy, and all the expenses and responsibilities of the house after this time will be borne by the owner himself. In other words, from that day on, all the rights and responsibilities of the house belong to the owner.
