Can the property fee for not living in a house be reduced or exempted?

Property fee is the requirement of daily management and maintenance of owners. According to the property management regulations, no matter whether the house is full or not, the owner has to pay the property fee. Generally speaking, the property fee requirement is stipulated by the developer when developing the project. According to the contract, the owner pays the property fee on time. Property fee is an important part of the owner's share of property service fee, and it is not determined by whether the house is full or not. Even if the house is not full, the owner cannot be exempted from the obligation to pay the property fee, unless the owner and the developer negotiate separately and the two sides agree on a new legally binding contract. Generally speaking, if the house is not full, you will not ask for a reduction in property fees.

If the house is not full, the owner can take the following measures to reduce the burden of property fees:

1, which requires the developer to compensate for the economic losses caused by the lack of occupancy at the time of purchase;

2. It is to apply for preferential treatment from the property management company. Usually, the property management company will consider the owner's situation in order to reduce the burden on the owner;

3. It is to apply to the relevant government departments for relief, and the relevant departments will try their best to give support, such as reducing a certain percentage of property fees.

In short, the house is not full, and the owner has to pay the property fee, but the above methods can be taken to reduce the burden of the property fee.

What is the charging standard of property fees?

Property service charges should distinguish the nature and characteristics of different properties, and implement government-guided prices and market-regulated prices respectively. The specific pricing form shall be determined by the price departments of the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government in conjunction with the real estate administrative departments.

If the property service charges are subject to government-guided prices, the competent price department of the people's government with pricing power shall, jointly with the real estate administrative department, formulate the corresponding benchmark price and its floating range according to factors such as the standard of property management service level, and publish it regularly. The specific charging standard is agreed by the owner and the property management enterprise in the property service contract according to the specified benchmark price and floating range.
