I haven't lived in a house for years. Should I pay the property fee?

Generally, if you buy a house and don't live, you need to pay the property fee, but some regional policies and regulations stipulate that vacant houses can reduce the property fee. Specifically, the owner can communicate with the property, and the agreement reached after communication is legal and effective. According to the regulations, the owner shall pay the property service fee according to the property service contract. If the owner and the user of the property agree that the user of the property shall pay the property service fee, the owner shall bear joint and several liability from the agreement. Property service fees in residential areas are mainly public service fees, including daily operation, maintenance and conservation, greening management, security and cleaning of public facilities. No matter whether the owner actually moves in or not, even if the house is vacant, he has to pay the corresponding fee. Some parts of * * * are closely related to proprietary parts. Property service companies manage and maintain some parts of * * *, and every owner benefits from it. The obligation to pay property fees is equal to all owners, otherwise, the stability and certainty of the property service relationship will be broken.
