The elevator in the community often breaks down, and I have turned it off several times myself. How to pay this property fee?

First of all, you can't not pay the property fee just because the elevator is broken. Although you may find that some people say that you don't have to pay, because the property fee covers a wide range, as long as you enjoy the service of the property, you must pay the property fee. There is no reason not to pay unless you collect evidence in advance that the property does not provide services at all or that the overall service quality is poor.

Secondly, long-term non-payment of property fees is likely to be sued by the property, and the property may drag on for a long time to sue the owners who have not paid the property fees. For the owner, this lawsuit is very risky and the chance of winning is very small, so in order to avoid this situation as much as possible, the following ways can be considered:

(1) Communicate and negotiate with the property first, ask for timely maintenance of the damaged facilities, compensate your losses, and promise to fulfill the maintenance guarantee obligations in the future.

(2) Complain to the owners' committee in time, feedback the attitude of the property in time, and let the industry committee supervise the property.
