Is it okay to refuse to pay the property fee because the top floor leaks? Under what circumstances can I refuse to pay the property fee?

Living on the top floor of the house has caused the problem of water leakage, which will definitely affect their daily life. Some owners think that property management companies should solve the problem of water leakage by themselves, or they will not pay property fees. Is it okay to refuse to pay the property fee because the top floor is leaking? If the owner wants to refuse to pay the property fee, he should also know under what circumstances he can refuse to pay the property fee.

1. Is it okay to refuse to pay the property fee because the top floor is leaking?

1. If the owner refuses to pay the property fee because the top floor is leaking, it is absolutely irresistible. There are many reasons for water leakage on the top floor, such as waterproof problems, wall cracking caused by house sinking, etc. Therefore, the owner must first find out the cause of the top floor leakage, then find out the responsible party, and then pursue the legal responsibility of the other party.

2. If the house is still under warranty, the owner should contact the property management company by telephone, and then ask the property management company to help contact the developer for maintenance. At this time, the property management company is only responsible for the coordination between the developer and the owner, and it is not allowed to refuse to pay the property fee at this time.

3. If the developer carries out construction according to national standards and the top floor leaks, the property should help with maintenance and compensation. If the property does not act, then the property and the owner should negotiate first. If the negotiation between the two parties fails, the owner can sue the property company to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the owner to the maximum extent.

Second, under what circumstances can I refuse to pay the property fee?

1. If the house is not delivered or delayed, the owner may refuse to pay the property fee.

Under normal circumstances, the payment date of the property fee should be calculated from the date when the owner actually takes over the house. If the delivery of the house is delayed due to the developer's reasons, or the house needs maintenance due to quality problems, which leads to the late occupancy, the owner needs to bear legal responsibility during this period.

If the house is not delivered on the day of delivery due to the owner's own reasons, the property fee delayed during this period shall be borne by the owner before the house is actually closed. However, in the case that the house has not been delivered, or the delivery is delayed, the developer or property management company wants to push the property fee to the owner, so the owner needs to pay the property fee at this time.

2. Without the consent of the owner, the property management company arbitrarily changes the charging standard of property services and expands the charging scope. The owner can refuse to pay the excess fee.

A property service agreement should be signed between the property and the owner, and the scope of service and charging standards are clearly stipulated in the agreement. Therefore, if there is any change in the scope of fees and services, it should be publicized to the property in advance, and the new fees and services can only be implemented after obtaining the consent of the owner or re-signing the agreement. If the property is changed without publicity, consent of the owners' committee and re-signing of the agreement with the owners, the owners may refuse to pay the fees other than those agreed in the original contract.

3 property service quality is not up to standard, the owners' committee can refuse to pay the property fee after discussion.

The services enjoyed by owners should be in direct proportion to the property fees they pay. Property companies charge property fees from owners, but the service quality is seriously substandard. After discussion and decision by the owners' committee, they may refuse to pay the property fees.

Is it okay to refuse to pay the property fee because the top floor is leaking? The top floor leakage depends on whether it is within the maintenance scope of the property management company. If it is not within the scope of its maintenance, it is wrong for the owner to refuse to pay the property fee. Under what circumstances can I refuse to pay the property fee? In life, if you can't refuse to pay the property fee, don't blindly refuse to pay the property fee.
