Is there no right to sue for a property that has been in arrears for more than two years?

Whether the arrears of property fees for more than two years exceed the limitation period should be confirmed according to the specific circumstances. First of all, defaulting on property fees is a civil dispute, not a prosecution period, but a statute of limitations. Chapter VII of the General Principles of the Civil Law stipulates the limitation of action: Article 135 The limitation of action for requesting the people's court to protect civil rights shall be two years, unless otherwise stipulated by law. Article 137 The limitation period of action shall be counted from the time when one knows or should know that one's rights have been infringed. However, if more than 20 years have passed since the right was infringed, the people's court will not protect it. Under special circumstances, the people's court may extend the limitation of action. According to these two provisions, your property management company has exceeded the statute of limitations. ?

Secondly, Article 2 of the Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of the Limitation of Action System in the Trial of Civil Cases (Law Interpretation [2008]11No.) violates the law by agreeing in advance to extend or shorten the limitation of action and give up the interests of the limitation of action, and the people's court will not recognize it. Article 3 If a party fails to raise the defense of limitation of action, the people's court shall not explain the issue of limitation of action, and shall take the initiative to apply the provisions of limitation of action to make a judgment. ?

Conclusion: 1 The limitation of action for requesting the court to protect civil rights is two years, and the property management company cannot extend the limitation of action illegally.

2. If the property management company can't produce evidence to prove that they urged you to pay the property fee within the limitation of action of two years, you can first file a defense of the limitation of action with the court according to the provisions of Article 3 of the above (Law Interpretation [2008]11). As long as this is the case, the people's court will not support the claim that the property management company has exceeded the limitation of action.
