When does the property fee start to calculate?

1. If the owner goes through the check-in formalities at the residential property management office and the owner obtains the key to the new house as the beginning of the owner's check-in, then the owner should start paying the property management fee at this time.

2. After the owner goes through the check-in formalities, the public service fee for property management shall be paid by the owner or user on a monthly basis. For owners who have purchased but have not moved in, they will pay 50% of the public service fee for property management within one year. At the same time, in order to avoid some real estate speculators leaving their houses idle for a long time, it is stipulated that they will not move in after one year, that is, 100%.

Under what circumstances can I refuse to pay the property fee?

1. No property service contract has been signed: the relationship between everyone and the property management company is generally in a state of being served. According to relevant laws and regulations, property management companies should sign service contracts with community owners. If the property management company does not sign a property service contract with the owner, the owner may refuse to pay the property fee. However, if the property management company has signed a property service contract with the industry Committee, but not with the owner himself, the owner cannot refuse to pay the property fee.

2. Without the approval of relevant departments: If a property management company wants to collect property fees from the owners, it must obtain the original approval document from the price management department. Therefore, if the property management company does not approve it, the owner does not have to pay the property fee. Therefore, when the owner pays the property fee, he can ask the property management company to show these documents to inquire whether the property fee should be paid.

If you want to refuse to pay the service fee because of the poor property service, then everyone must have sufficient evidence, and then take the initiative to negotiate with the property, telling them what they have done wrong, and should not charge the property fee or undercharge the property fee, and make a good record of the negotiation. Once the property sues for default on property fees, the owner can argue that it is not malicious default.

Legal basis: Article 944 of the Civil Law stipulates that 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.
