Do I have to pay a property fee if I don't check in?

Owners who have not checked in also have to pay property fees, because property fees are used for public services such as public facilities maintenance, security and cleaning. Even if the house is vacant, the owner will benefit from some management and maintenance of the property service enterprise. According to the interpretation of relevant laws, owners cannot refuse to pay property fees on the pretext of not enjoying or needing property services. Some areas have special regulations on the property management fees of vacant properties, otherwise the owners usually have to pay the property fees in full.

Property service fees in residential areas are mainly public service fees, including daily operation, maintenance and conservation, greening management, security and cleaning of public facilities.

Property service companies manage and maintain some parts of * * *, and every owner benefits from it. The obligation to pay property fees is equal to all owners, otherwise, the stability and certainty of the property service relationship will be broken. Article 6 of the Supreme People's Court's Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Property Service Disputes stipulates that the property service enterprise has provided services in accordance with the contract and relevant regulations, and the people's court will not support it if the owner only raises a defense on the grounds that he does not enjoy or does not need to accept relevant property services.

In some areas, there are special provisions on the proportion of property management fees paid in the vacant stage of houses:
