Do I need to pay the property management fee if I don't live in a new house?

You need to pay the property fee if you don't live in the house. The property fee will be paid from the day of delivery. The payment of the new house property fee is calculated from the date when the owner closes the house, not from the date when the contract is signed.

In practice, the property service enterprise has provided services in accordance with the contract and relevant regulations, and the people's court will not support the owner's failure to pay property fees on the grounds of not enjoying or accepting relevant property services.

That is to say, if the owner claims that he has never enjoyed the services provided by the property service enterprise (for example, the owner claims that he has never enjoyed the services because the houses abroad are uninhabited) or does not need to accept the relevant property services (for example, the owner downstairs claims that he has never taken the elevator, etc.). ), the court does not support it.

Hiring a property service enterprise is the decision made by the owner. As long as the realty service enterprise provides relevant services in accordance with the contract, all owners have equal obligations to pay property fees. Unless otherwise agreed in the management statute or the realty service contract.

Most property companies or owners' committees in commercial and residential areas require owners to pay the same standard property fees as permanent residents as long as they have a house with a key in the community.

However, with the increasing number of vacant houses in some newly-opened communities, some vacant house owners increasingly reflect that they should pay property fees in full.

legal ground

Article 41 of the Property Management Regulations stipulates that the owner shall pay the property service fee in accordance with the property service contract. If the owner and the property user agree that the property user shall pay the property service fee, such agreement shall prevail.
