If the contract of the property management company is not renewed upon expiration, can the owner refuse to pay the property fee?

Legal analysis: Yes, but certain conditions must be met, otherwise the owner will still have to pay the property fee.

1. If the property contract is not dissolved by resolution upon expiration, the owner shall pay the property fee.

The realty service company continues to perform the realty service contract with practical actions. If the owner actually enjoys the realty management service provided by the realty service company, he shall pay the corresponding realty service fee and cannot refuse to pay the realty service fee.

2. If the property contract expires and it has been resolved to terminate, the owner may not pay the property fee.

If the property company refuses to move out and forcibly continues to provide property services, then the property company cannot collect service fees by providing "actual property services". At this time, the owner can refuse to pay the property fee.

Legal basis: Article 26 of the Regulations on Property Management in People's Republic of China (PRC) can stipulate the term of the previous property service contract; However, if the realty service contract signed by the owners' committee and the realty service enterprise takes effect before the expiration of the term, the prophase realty service contract shall be terminated.
