Is it reasonable to charge a two-year property fee at one time?

Legal analysis: unreasonable. Generally speaking, property contracts have a specified time limit. The normal contract period is one year, three years, and the longest is five years. No matter how long the contract is, it is hardly protected by law.

Property companies are invited to bid or come in after many negotiations when they settle in. The charging standard, charging method, charging period and service content standard are strictly stipulated in the contract. No one is allowed to change it without authorization.

Property requirements for two years in advance, that is, unauthorized changes to the contents of the contract, the owner can resolutely refuse. Even if you pay in advance, you can only get it one year in advance. To put it bluntly, the property company is making money. If the property fee is collected two years in advance, when there is no income next year, the property company feels unprofitable and may secretly run away.

Legal basis: Article 14 of the Measures for Property Management in Residential Quarters, the start-up funds for property management in residential quarters shall be paid by the development and construction unit of residential quarters to the property management committee or property management enterprise in one lump sum according to the proportion of 2% of the building installation fee. The real estate owner in the residential area shall pay the property management fee to the property management committee or property management enterprise every year according to the entrusted contents. Property management enterprises to carry out property and a variety of business services, should be mainly used to supplement the residential property management costs.
