The house was sold in March. Do I have to pay the property management fee for one year?

No, the formal requirement is not once a year, but if you have signed a property contract before, see how it is required in the contract.

"Property fees are calculated on a monthly basis, and there is no limit to how often they are paid. They can pay monthly, quarterly or yearly. Where there are provisions in the service contract signed with the property management company, the provisions in the contract shall prevail. The owner pays the property fee from the moment he gets the key to the official delivery. "

How often do you pay the property fee?

1. In general, when the house is handed over, the owner and the property management company will sign a "Pre-Property Management Contract", which states that the owner needs to pay the property fee after taking over the house. Even if the house is still in the renovation stage and the owner has not moved into the new house, the property company will provide property services from this time, and the owner naturally needs to pay a certain property fee.

2. China's laws clearly stipulate that property management companies charge property management fees. Without the owner's consent, the property management company can't charge the property fee for more than six months at a time, and can't ask the owner to pay the deposit for more than one year. So now most communities pay property fees on a monthly basis, as do utilities.
