How to deal with the lawsuit of non-payment of property fees

Legal analysis: after the property fee is sued, the owner should be prepared for defense and actively respond to the lawsuit after receiving the notice of hearing. He can defend the default of property fees from the fact that the property constitutes a breach of contract, or prove that the property fees are unreasonable and the statute of limitations has expired. If the court finally decides that the property is successful, the owner needs to pay the property fee in time, otherwise it may face enforcement.

Legal basis: Article 944 of General Principles of Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the owner shall pay the property fee to the property service provider as agreed. If the property service provider has provided services in accordance with the agreement and relevant regulations, the owner shall not refuse to pay the property fee on the grounds that he has not accepted or does not need to accept the relevant property services. If the owner fails to pay the property fee within the time limit in violation of the agreement, the property service provider may urge him to pay it within a reasonable time limit, and the property service provider may bring a lawsuit or apply for arbitration. The property service provider shall not stop power supply, water supply, heat supply and gas supply to demand payment of property fees.
