How to deal with tenants who don't pay property fees

If the lessee refuses to pay the property fee, the property management company has the right to urge the lessee to pay. If the lessee refuses to pay, the property management company has the right to ask the owner and lessor to pay and bear joint liability. After the owner pays the property fee, he can recover the property fee from the tenant in accordance with the lease contract.

Under what circumstances can I not pay the property fee?

1. Without the approval of the relevant departments: the premise for the property company to collect property fees from the owners is that it must obtain the original approval document from the price management department. Some property companies have since taken over the property service projects in this community, but if the property company is not approved, the owner may not have to pay the property fee before changing the charging standard of the property company. Therefore, when the owner pays the property fee, he can ask the property company to show these documents to inquire whether the property fee should be paid.

2. Failure to repossess the house: the property fee is calculated from the time when the owner repossesses the house. There is no need to pay the property fee if the owner does not take over the house. In view of this problem, we should pay attention to two points. First, a friend took the house and didn't move in. In this case, they also need to pay the property fee, but they can negotiate with the property company to pay the property fee at a certain discount. Another point is that the developer delays the delivery of the house, and the property fee should be borne by the developer. If the property management company wants to collect property fees from the owners, the owners have the right to refuse.

3. The property company raises the charging standard without authorization: Some property companies violate the contract or relevant regulations in life, such as expanding the charging range without authorization, raising the charging standard or repeating the charging. It should be noted that the owner can refuse to pay the part of the property fee raised by the property company without authorization, and the owner still needs to pay the approved part of the property fee. For friends who pay more property fees, the people's court should support the owner's request for the property to return the illegal fees they overcharged.

What are the consequences of not paying the property fee?

1. How about not paying the property fee for three years? Generally speaking, if the property fee is not paid for three years, the property will file a lawsuit and bear the corresponding legal responsibility. Failure to pay property fees is not uncommon in life, but it may lead to litigation risks. In essence, unpaid property fees are a kind of debt, that is to say, a typical creditor-debtor relationship has formed between property management units and owners.

As long as the owner fails to fulfill the obligation to repay the debt on time, the creditor can sue for recovery. In addition, non-payment or irregular payment of property fees also violates the property service contract between the two parties, and the owner needs to bear the liability for breach of contract. In the case of default by the owner, the property management unit, as the observant party, can also sue the owner at any time.

3. There is no definite time limit for not paying the property fee. In real life, property management units will not go to court as soon as they start, and most of them will negotiate privately with owners who have not paid property fees, but this does not affect their right to go to court.
