What should I do if I am sued for owing property fees?

Legal analysis:

If the property fee owed is sued, the owner should actively negotiate with the property company to try to withdraw the lawsuit. If negotiation fails, the owner can ask the court to mediate first. If mediation fails, he should submit a defense, think that he has reasons, and actively prepare evidence to support his claim, so as to win the lawsuit.

Legal basis:

Article 125 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the people's court shall send a copy of the indictment to the defendant within five days from the date of filing the case, and the defendant shall submit a reply within fifteen days from the date of receipt. The defense shall specify the defendant's name, gender, age, nationality, occupation, work unit, residence and contact information; The name and domicile of the legal person or other organization and the name, position and contact information of the legal representative or principal responsible person. The people's court shall send a copy of the defense to the plaintiff within five days from the date of receiving the defense. If the defendant fails to submit the defense, it will not affect the trial of the people's court.

Article 64 The parties have the responsibility to provide evidence of their own claims. The people's court shall investigate and collect evidence that the parties and their agents ad litem cannot collect on their own due to objective reasons, or evidence that the people's court considers necessary for hearing a case. The people's court shall comprehensively and objectively examine and verify the evidence in accordance with legal procedures.

Article 93 In trying civil cases, the people's courts should distinguish right from wrong and mediate on the basis of clear facts.

Article 99 Before the conciliation statement is served, if the conciliation fails to reach an agreement or one party reneges, the people's court shall make a judgment in time.

Article 145 Before the verdict is pronounced, if the plaintiff applies to withdraw the lawsuit, whether to grant it or not shall be decided by the people's court. The people's court has ruled that the withdrawal of the lawsuit is not allowed, and if the plaintiff refuses to appear in court without justifiable reasons after being summoned, the judgment may be made by default.
