The property management company said that it owed property fees several years ago.

Legal analysis: From the date of 17, 10 and 1, the limitation of action for collecting property fees was changed from 2 years to 3 years.

Legal basis: Article 6 of the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Property Service Disputes states that if the owner refuses to pay the property fee without justifiable reasons or fails to pay the property fee within a reasonable period after being urged in writing, the people's court shall support it. The limitation period of action shall be counted from the date when the creditor knows or should know that the right is damaged and the debtor knows it. Where there are other provisions in the law, those provisions shall prevail. However, the people's court shall not protect the rights that have been damaged for more than 20 years.
