Can't I pay the property fee without living in a new house? The reason for this is the following：

1. According to the law, the owner shall pay the property fee to the property service provider as agreed. If the property service provider has provided services in accordance with the agreement and relevant regulations, the owner shall not refuse to pay the property fee on the grounds that he has not accepted or does not need to accept the relevant property services;

2. The owner violates the agreement and fails to pay the property fee;

(1) The property service provider may require payment within a reasonable period;

(2) If the payment has not been made within a reasonable period, the property service provider may bring a lawsuit or apply for arbitration;

3. Urge the property management company to carry out daily maintenance on the environment, hygiene and safety of the residential area, and pay the property management fee even if the owner's house is vacant;

4. Property fee is the consideration for the property company to provide property services, and the gap between the quality of property services and the contract is obvious and in a long-term continuous state;

(1) According to the principle of matching quality and price, if the owner requests to reduce or exempt the property fee, he should consider it as appropriate according to law, but the owner cannot refuse to pay all the property fees on the grounds that the property service is not up to standard.

(2) If the house you buy is really unoccupied, not decorated and does not meet the occupancy requirements, you can apply for a reduction or exemption from the property, and you can pay less 10% to 30% of the property fee.
