Is the property fee paid once a month or once a year?

Residential property fees can be paid once a year or once a month.

If when buying a house, the owner signed a contract with the property management company and agreed to pay the property management fee within one year, then in this case, it must be paid within one year. However, in real life, it is more common not to sign such contracts. The property company's initiative to pay the property fee for one year is only an invitation, and the owner can refuse and negotiate with the property company instead. Both parties can conclude a new contract and reschedule the payment.

What are the precautions for paying property fees?

1. Is it unreasonable to refuse to pay the property fee?

In our life, usually. If our owners refuse to teach you property fees. At this time, our personal credit information will inevitably have a bad record. However, it does not mean that in all cases, it is unreasonable for you to refuse to pay the property fee. For example, this property company has raised the property fee privately, so at this time, as the owner, we have the right to refuse to pay these excessive property fees.

2. Is it necessary to pay as long as the property provides services?

Generally speaking, within the scope of the contract signed by the property, after the property begins to provide services. No matter whether your house is occupied or not, you need to pay a valid property fee. However, if the property company privately carries out some services unrelated to the contract. Then this is our owner, and we have no obligation to pay this fee. Therefore, when the property management party provides services unrelated to the contract, as the owner, we can choose to refuse to pay this fee.

3. Does the property company have the right to cut off water and electricity?

If the owner defaults on the property fee. Then the property management company will generally take the method of cutting off electricity and water for the owner's house. Do you know that?/You know what? Does the property company have no right to cut off electricity and water for the owners? You know, water and electricity supply is the responsibility of the Water and Electricity Bureau. The property management company only collects for the water and electricity bureau? They have no right to stop using water and electricity!

4. Does the owner have the right to ask about the expenditure of business expenses?

As a payer of property fees, it is also a consumer. You have the right to know about the consumption of property fees, and it is naturally necessary for the business transparency of property companies.
