If one party fails to perform the contractual obligations or fails to meet the contractual obligations, it shall be liable for breach of contract, such as continuing to perform, taking remedial measures or compensating for losses. If the landlord calls the police, the police will have two choices:

First, it is considered to be a contract dispute, and it is told to settle it through consultation or go through legal procedures.

Second, we can also accept and mediate from the perspective of digesting contradictions and disputes and building social harmony (especially community police), so as to urge the parties to solve disputes through legal analysis.

Article 577 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), if one party fails to perform the contractual obligations or the performance of the contractual obligations does not conform to the agreement, it shall bear the liabilities for breach of contract such as continuing to perform, taking remedial measures or compensating for losses.

Article 944 The owner shall pay the property fee to the property service provider as agreed.

If the owner fails to pay the property fee within the time limit in violation of the agreement, the property service provider may urge him to pay it within a reasonable period of time; If the payment is not made within a reasonable period, the property service provider may bring a lawsuit or apply for arbitration.

The property service provider shall not stop power supply, water supply, heat supply and gas supply to demand payment of property fees.
