Why is the property fee different for high-rise buildings and villas in the same community?

The property fee of a villa in the same residential area is usually much higher than that of a high-rise building. Because the villa floor area ratio is very low, compared with the high-rise buildings with high floor area ratio, the chargeable area is much less and the natural price is higher. At the same cost, the total construction area of high-rise owners is much larger than that of villa owners, which leads to a higher unit price of villa property management fees. Moreover, the villa is a high-end property, which requires more services, higher quality and higher fees.

What is the charging standard of property fees?

1. The charging standards of different services provided by property management companies for owners or users of each community are also different. Part of the service charges are determined by the property management company through consultation with the owners or users. For some service items, the charging standard shall be implemented according to the regulations of relevant government departments.

2. When collecting property management fees, some items are one-time charges, some are collected regularly, and some items are collected flexibly. The collection standard of property management fees is limited by the relevant national policies and regulations, and it is not allowed to collect fees at random. On the other hand, the charging standard of property management fees is also limited by the income level of users and subject to the principle of good quality and low price. Therefore, the determination of property management fees should follow certain principles and adapt to the income level of users.

What should I pay attention to when paying property fees?

1. Is it unreasonable to refuse to pay the property fee?

Generally speaking, every community owner has the obligation to pay property fees on time, but it does not mean that it is unreasonable to refuse to pay property fees in all cases. For example, property companies raise property fees privately, so at this time, as owners, we have the right to refuse to pay these excessive property fees.

2. Is it necessary to pay as long as the property provides services?

Generally speaking, within the scope of the contract signed by the property, after the property begins to provide services, no matter whether the house is occupied or not, it is necessary to pay the corresponding property fee. However, if the property management company carries out some services unrelated to the contract privately, then our owners are not obliged to pay such fees. Therefore, when the property personnel provide services unrelated to the contract, as the owner, they can choose to refuse to pay this fee.

3. Does the property company have the right to cut off water and electricity?

If the owner defaults on the property fee, then the property management company will generally cut off the electricity and water for the owner's house. But in fact, the property company has no right to cut off electricity and water for the owners, because water and electricity supply is the business managed by the Water and Electricity Bureau. The property management company only collects water and electricity for the water and electricity bureau, and they have no right to stop water and electricity.

4. Does the owner have the right to ask about the expenditure of business expenses?

As the payer and consumer of the property fee, the owner has the right to know the usage of the property fee, which naturally requires the transparency of the property company's business. If the owner has doubts about the property fee, the commercial company has the right to ask for the related service fee about the property fee.
