I didn't live in a new house, didn't decorate it, didn't take the key, do I have to pay the property fee?

However, if both parties agree to deliver the house in the contract and the delivery conditions have been met, the buyer shall not refuse to deliver the house or pay the property service fee on the grounds of not staying in or not decorating.
