Under what circumstances can the property fee be paid less?

? At present, property fees should be essential for every community. Perhaps there are still many small partners who don't understand what property fees are. What do I spend every month on? In fact, as the name implies, the property fee refers to the fees that the property manager should pay according to the property service contract when providing property services, mainly including the expenses of cleaning, maintenance, greening and security in public areas.

So, is it possible that in many cases, we can all pay less? The answer is yes, so I also summarized some common situations and suggestions. Come and have a look ~?

One? Preferential policies provided by property management companies:

First of all, we still need to know whether the property company provides preferential policies for specific groups or at a specific time after living in the community.

For example, for special groups such as the elderly and the disabled, the property company may give certain preferential treatment; Or during a festival, the property management company may launch limited-time preferential activities. Therefore, paying attention to the preferential policies of property companies is a way to pay less property fees!

Two? , understand the composition of the property cost:

It is very important for us to understand the composition of property fees to find places where we can save.

After all, the calculation of property fees is usually based on certain provisions, so what aspects of fees are included? What is necessary and what can be omitted? We can find the answers to these questions in the process of understanding the composition of property fees, and as owners, we have the right to understand and check whether these bases are reasonable, so as to win some concessions for ourselves and correct unreasonable fees!

3. If the property management company fails to perform its service responsibilities as agreed in the contract, the owner may refuse to pay the property fee:

This is a very common and important point, including failure to provide services, substandard services, illegal charges, exemption or increased responsibility, and so on.

Let me give you a real example here. Previously, elevators in a residential area often broke down, which affected the safety and convenience of residents' travel. Later, they repeatedly reported to the property management company that they wanted to repair or replace the elevator, but the property management company always ignored it. As a result, some people refused to pay the property fee and sued the court for returning the paid part to compensate for the losses caused by the elevator failure. Guess what the result is? The court supported the residents' claims!

Four, housing quality problems or developers did not provide supporting facilities as agreed:

According to the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in the Trial of Disputes over Commercial Housing Sales Contracts, the developer shall undertake the responsibility for the quality warranty of commercial housing and provide supporting facilities in accordance with the contract. If the developer fails to fulfill these obligations, and has an interest relationship with the property company that provides pre-stage property services, then the owner can refuse to pay or pay less property fees until the developer fulfills his obligations!

For example, there are some quality problems, such as the house in the community is not waterproof, or the ground is empty, you can complain to the developer or the property. In addition, supporting facilities such as parking lots and garbage stations in the community should also be built in accordance with the contract. If you find that it is not what the contract says, then you have the right to complain to the property and ask for rectification and compensation!

Five, the house is idle for a long time:

In many areas, owners who do not use vacant houses for a long time after moving in can report to the property service companies and pay 70% to 90% of the vacant house property fees according to relevant regulations or agreed service standards.

In addition, the owner and the property management company can also determine the collection method and standard of vacant house property fees through consultation according to the actual situation and in line with reasonable principles. But that's not all. There is no such rule here in Sichuan, so you should pay as much as you should. Therefore, how much fees can be reduced or exempted depends on local regulations.

VI. * * Enjoy the property fee:

This method may be a bit unexpected, but it is a good way to save money!

If there are multiple owners in your residential building, you can consider jointly investing in some public facilities, such as cleaning tools and gardening equipment, and then everyone will share the responsibility of maintaining and using these facilities! In this way, the workload of the property company in these aspects will be reduced, and perhaps some property fees will be reduced for you!

To sum up, in fact, as the owner, I personally feel that as long as the community environment is beautiful and the service is good, the money spent is worth it. However, I will resolutely safeguard my own interests in such a messy community with a bad attitude towards property services.

Finally, I want to tell you that we should not only rationally safeguard our legitimate rights and interests, but also respect and support the reasonable management of property companies. Only in this way can we create a harmonious and beautiful community environment together!
