Who should pay the property fee owed by the original owner?

Legal analysis: if there is no agreement between the new owner and the original owner when buying a house, the original owner should return it. Property fees are fees charged by property owners and users who entrust property management units to carry out daily maintenance, repair and transformation of houses, buildings and their equipment, public facilities and environment in residential areas, and provide other services related to residents' lives.

Legal basis: Article 41 of the Regulations on Property Management should follow the principles of reasonableness, openness and adaptation of fees to service level, and distinguish the nature and characteristics of different properties. Owners and property service enterprises shall, in accordance with the measures for charging property services formulated by the competent price department of the State Council in conjunction with the competent construction administrative department of the State Council, stipulate in the property service contract.
