Is it reasonable to ask renters to pay property fees?

Contract autonomy is the greatest principle of civil law (that is, voluntariness).

Because, even if it seems that the renter does not need to bear the property fee, if the landlord wants an extra rent of one or two hundred yuan, it is still the wool on the sheep.

I am here to provide you with your usual operating habits (a convention formed in the market) for your reference:

According to the nature of the property, if it is residential, the landlord will generally bear the property fee; If it is a commercial building such as an office building, the renter will generally bear the property fee.

What is the rationality of such a convention? I really can't say.

However, my own understanding is that under normal circumstances, the landlord is basically a shopkeeper, and after giving the empty house to the renter, he basically cares nothing.

For the rental of residential houses, the general landlord's responsibility is much greater, such as furniture, household appliances, etc., which are generally used by renters. If these things are worn out, the landlord will be responsible for repairing them. Over time, the above convention has been formed.

But obviously, this agreement can be broken by a clear written agreement as long as both parties agree.

Extended data:

Property fees are divided into four levels.
