What should the owner do if the property company secretly rents out the basement?

Explanation of related problems about illegal renting of basement.

For reference, some property companies rent basements illegally without authorization:

As far as I know, basements in some residential areas in Beijing are generally rented out by a company (often established by individuals) and then rented out. If this company wants to get the lease right of the basement, it often needs to manage the management of the property company. Everyone should understand that the money given by this company is not necessarily given to the property company, but to one or several managers of the property company. This is actually a bribe, because according to the truth, the property company is not the owner of the basement of the community and has no right to dispose of the basement.

Second, my community basement rental decoration demolition costs:

Thanks to the efforts of our community rights group, the property company is now dismantling the partition. However, the renovation of the basement in our community has been demolished again, and it must have cost a lot of money inside and outside. If it is contracted by a company, before the renovation, the property company must have signed a contract with others and made some promises. It must be torn down now, and the business can't be done. The contracting company must settle accounts with the property company and demand compensation. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to the problems here, and the property may eventually use our property fees to compensate others.

Therefore, in order to completely solve the problem, we must ask the property management company to explain the whole operation process of illegally renting the basement, and ask it to provide the signed relevant agreement (if any), and then ask the property management company to explain who will bear the renovation and demolition expenses. The property company must ensure that it will not misappropriate our property fees to compensate or offset the related expenses.

If you can, you can make relevant information public on the internet and the media and continue to supervise the property company. If necessary, you can threaten to take legal action to sue the property company. Because the renovation and subsequent demolition of the basement may affect the safety of the building, at least the appearance, the property management company must be responsible for its greed and arbitrariness.

Third, we can see from this incident that the property company lacks legal knowledge and law-abiding habits:

In fact, renting basements, due to mixed personnel, poor decoration and limited ventilation and safety facilities, can easily lead to public security incidents such as fires and fights, and also pose a great threat to legitimate residents. If a vicious case occurs, the money earned by the rental of the property company may not be able to make up for the losses caused by the case. Therefore, if it is a law-abiding property company, it will generally take the initiative to avoid such illegal rental behavior. Our property management company took risks for some interests this time, exposing its bad habit of not knowing the law and abiding by the law. Of course, from a good point of view, this incident may not be the corporate behavior of the property company, but the personal behavior of individual managers for their own interests, which is even more daring. The property company should deal with these people.

Fourth, the enlightenment to our owners.

The current progress of this incident is due to the active efforts of the rights protection team. However, in the current limited level of property management and legal environment, maintaining industry sovereignty is a long-term task, and it is unsustainable to rely solely on the enthusiastic efforts of a few people in the rights protection team. Therefore, we must set up an owners' committee and establish a management mechanism as soon as possible, so as to better and normally supervise the behavior of property companies and audit the use of property fees and the income from property management in residential areas. I am glad that the work in this area has started, and I hope to have an early result.

The security and harmony of the community need our owners' own efforts to maintain and strive for, and this rights protection incident illustrates this point well. If our owners finally win a great victory in safeguarding their rights and publicize them widely through the media, I think it will be a great contribution of the owners of the media village to improving the overall property management environment in Beijing.
