Can I not pay the property fee if the service is not in place?

Legal analysis: The reason advocated by the owner in the case of refusing to pay the residential property fee is often because there are certain defects in the property service. However, property services are comprehensive and long-term, and property fees cannot be refused because a certain service is not in place. When the property management company's service in a certain aspect is not perfect or timely, the property management company and the owner should first take remedial measures, improve the relevant services in time through active communication, and eliminate the impact of the imperfect property service on the owner. If negotiation fails, you can change the property and seriously sue the property company.

Legal basis: Article 287 of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the owner has the right to require the construction unit, the property service enterprise or other managers and other owners to bear civil liability for acts that infringe upon their legitimate rights and interests.
