The house has been cracked for many years, and the property owner refused to pay the property fee. Now the property has taken me to court. What should I do with it? Ask a professional for advice. Thank you. When cracks appeared in your house, did it exceed the developer's housing quality warranty period? If not, then the maintenance responsibility should be borne by the developer. If the warranty period has expired, the property management company should be responsible for your maintenance, but the maintenance costs should be borne by you.

When the house cracked, did you inform the property management company to ask for its maintenance? If you have notified, but the property management company refuses to repair, then you can ask the property management company to reduce the corresponding property service fee on the grounds that you have not fully entered the property management responsibility, but your refusal to pay the property service fee is unfounded.

Besides, you haven't paid the property fee for several years. According to the relevant laws and regulations, the recovery of property fees is limited by the statute of limitations of two years, that is, property fees exceeding two years will generally not be supported by the court.

Therefore, you can put forward two reasons against the property management company: (1) prescription defense: that is, you can not pay the property fee of the previous year on the grounds that the limitation of action has expired, but only pay the property fee for two years before the prosecution; (2) The property company is slow to perform its obligations: that is, the property company refuses to maintain, and you can ask for a reduction or exemption of property fees on this ground.
