Can the early property fee be reduced or exempted after the property change?

Question: Can the early property fee be reduced or exempted after the property change?

A: Changing the property company will not affect the previous agreement on reducing or exempting the property fee. If the property management company has a clear contract with the owner in the early stage, and the way and time limit for reducing or exempting the property fee have been clearly defined, even if the property management company is replaced, the owner can still reduce or exempt the property fee according to the contract.

However, if the contract between the original property company and the owner does not clearly stipulate the way and time limit for reducing or exempting the property fee, or the owner fails to pay the property fee as agreed, the new property company can adjust the property fee charging standard according to the actual situation after changing the property company.

To sum up, changing the property company does not affect the agreement of the former property company to reduce or exempt the property fee, but whether it can be reduced or exempted depends on the contract agreement between the former property company and the owner. If there is no clear agreement in the contract, the new property management company can adjust the charging standard according to the actual situation.

Legal basis:

The first paragraph of Article 114 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Contract Law stipulates: "The parties may agree that one party shall pay a certain amount of liquidated damages to the other party according to the breach of contract, and may also agree on the calculation method of the amount of compensation for losses caused by breach of contract."

Article 35 of the Property Management Regulations stipulates: "Property service enterprises shall provide corresponding services in accordance with the provisions of the property service contract. The realty service enterprise fails to perform the realty service contract, causing personal and property safety damage to the owner, and shall bear corresponding legal responsibilities according to law. Property service enterprises can entrust the special service business in the property management area to professional service enterprises, but they may not entrust all property management in the area to others.
