Can I refuse to pay the property fee if the roof leaks?

Judging from more than 20 cases recently accepted by the property management company, most of the reasons why the owners refuse to pay the property fees are the defects in the services provided by the property management company, among which the problem of roof leakage has not been effectively solved. In this case, there are usually a large number of owners who refuse to pay property fees to fight, but after the property company sues the court, it often ends in the owner's failure. The main reason of roof leakage is generally the construction quality problem of the construction unit. According to the Regulations on Quality Management of Construction Projects, during the warranty period, the employer shall bear the warranty responsibility. At this time, the responsibility of the property management company is only to help coordinate the relationship between owners and developers. After the warranty period expires, since the roof belongs to the * * * use part, the maintenance of the * * * use part shall be the responsibility of the property management company, and it shall be solved with public * * * maintenance funds. This provision is embodied in the Regulations of Jiangsu Province on Property Management, and this agreement is included in the property service format contract signed by the owners' committee and the property management company. Literally, it may be the same as most owners. If the roof leakage problem is not solved, the property fee can be refused, but this is not the case. From the contractual nature, the property service contract belongs to a two-way contract, and the consideration obtained by the owner in paying the property fee includes greening and maintenance of the community, cleanliness and hygiene, order maintenance, safety precautions, daily operation and maintenance of facilities and equipment used by * *, maintenance and maintenance of parts used by * * and many other services. The source of the owner's contract defense right is also based on this. The consideration that the property company should pay for collecting property fees is to provide the above services for the owners. Owners often refuse to pay property fees to defend the poor maintenance of the parts used by the property company. However, the total consideration paid by the property company for obtaining the property fee is extremely rich, and the core maintenance is only one of the contents of the property service, while the contract defense right caused by the performance defect of the core is incomplete relative to the property service contract as a whole. Therefore, it is not feasible for the owner to refuse to pay the property fee just because the used parts are not well maintained.
