70% of the property fee for vacant houses in 2020

Article 34 of the Regulations on Property Management: The owners' committee shall conclude a written property service contract with the property service enterprise selected by the owners' congress. Property service contracts shall stipulate property management matters, service quality, service fees, rights and obligations of both parties, management and use of special maintenance, property management premises, contract term, liability for breach of contract, etc.

Regarding the provision of 70% of the property fee for vacant houses in 2020, the Property Management Regulations does not clearly stipulate how to collect the property management service fee before the owner or user moves in after the property is sold.

Some provinces and cities stipulate:

For the vacant property that has not been occupied for a long time (for more than six months in a row) and the vacant property that has not been used for a long time after the owner has checked in, the owner shall file a written record with the property service enterprise and pay the vacant property fee according to 70% to 90% of the stipulated or agreed service standard. The specific proportion shall be formulated by the local price and real estate management department.

If the property has been delivered to the owner, the property fee will be charged from the month after the property is delivered to the owner. But the vehicle management fee should be paid in full. For the property and parking space that has not been occupied or used for more than one month, the owner shall submit a written application to the property service enterprise in advance, and after confirmation, pay the management fees such as motor vehicle parking service fees or parking space utilities, sanitation fees, etc. according to the prescribed standard of 70%.
