What are the ways to deal with property disputes?

The ways to deal with property disputes include: the owner and the property management company can negotiate on a voluntary basis and on an equal footing according to the provisions of the management statute and the property management contract, or they can refer the dispute to a third party for mediation and complain to the property management office of the local real estate administration. If mediation fails, it can be submitted to an arbitration institution for arbitration, and attention should be paid to retaining relevant evidence to bring a lawsuit to the people's court.
