Do people have to pay property fees if they don't live in a house?

It is necessary to provide public services for the whole community because property services will not reduce the workload because individual houses are vacant. In other words, property services not only serve the owners, but also serve the houses in the community. Since the owner's house is still in the community, he should be responsible for it. Therefore, according to the logic of property, if the house is unoccupied, the property fee will be paid, unless the owner can move the house.

If you don't live in a house, you need to pay 70% of the property fee. For vacant houses, the standard of paying property fees is not to say that they are paid in full, but can be reduced or exempted as appropriate. Only pay 70% of the full amount.

Property service charges in residential areas are mainly public service charges, including daily operation, maintenance and conservation, greening management, security and cleaning of public facilities and equipment. No matter whether the owner actually moves in or not, even if the house is vacant, he has to pay the corresponding fee.

1, you have to pay property fees for houses that don't live.

2. The obligation of the owner to pay the property management fee directly comes from the agreement in the property management contract.

3. The property management company performs its obligations according to the contract, and the service it provides is a public service. The management cost of a community will not be reduced because one or several people don't live here.

4. The property management company shall perform its obligations based on the contract, and the owner shall also perform the obligation to pay the management fee according to the contract.

Under what circumstances do you not have to pay the property fee:

1. Without the approval of the relevant departments: the premise for the property company to collect property fees from the owners is that it must obtain the original approval document from the price management department. Some property companies have since taken over the property service projects in this community, but if the property company is not approved, the owner may not have to pay the property fee before changing the charging standard of the property company. Therefore, when the owner pays the property fee, he can ask the property company to show these documents to inquire whether the property fee should be paid.

2. Failure to repossess the house: the property fee is calculated from the time when the owner repossesses the house. There is no need to pay the property fee if the owner does not take over the house. In view of this problem, we should pay attention to two points. First, a friend took the house and didn't move in. In this case, they also need to pay the property fee, but they can negotiate with the property company to pay the property fee at a certain discount. Another point is that the developer delays the delivery of the house, and the property fee should be borne by the developer. If the property management company wants to collect property fees from the owners, the owners have the right to refuse.

3. The property company raises the charging standard without authorization: Some property companies violate the contract or relevant regulations in life, such as expanding the charging range without authorization, raising the charging standard or repeating the charging. It should be noted that the owner can refuse to pay the part of the property fee raised by the property company without authorization, and the owner still needs to pay the approved part of the property fee. For friends who pay more property fees, the people's court should support the owner's request for the property to return the illegal fees they overcharged.
