Do people who don't live in a house need to pay property fees?

If you don't live in a house, you have to pay the property fee.

The obligation of the owner to pay the property management fee directly comes from the agreement of the property management contract. Property management companies perform their obligations in accordance with the contract, and the service provided is a public service. The management cost of a community will not be reduced because one or several people don't live here.

Property management companies perform their obligations based on the contract, and the owners should also perform their obligations to pay management fees according to the contract.
