Does the new house have defects and do not pay property fees?

It is usually illegal not to pay property fees. According to the Property Management Regulations and relevant laws and regulations, the owner shall pay the property service fee in accordance with the property service contract. Even if there are defects or problems in the house, this is usually not a legitimate reason for refusing to pay the property fee, because the property fee mainly covers the public services provided by the property company, such as cleaning, security and greening maintenance of public areas, and has no direct relationship with the repair of the house itself.

Housing quality problems should be solved through consultation with developers, or complain to the quality supervision department of construction projects, or even protect rights through legal channels. If the owner is dissatisfied with the property service or thinks that the property service can't meet the contract standard, the owner has the right to ask the property company to improve the service or provide evidence of substandard to negotiate and reduce part of the cost, but it still needs to follow the contract and legal procedures, and can't unilaterally decide not to pay the property fee.

If the owner refuses to pay the property fee without legal procedures, the property company has the right to take measures to demand payment according to the contract and legal provisions, including sending a demand notice and bringing a civil lawsuit. Therefore, owners are encouraged to actively communicate with property management companies, solve disputes through formal channels, and ensure that their rights and interests are legally safeguarded. It is ok to reflect problems in the owners' group, but it is necessary to maintain rational communication and promote the improvement of the community environment.
