Provisions of Civil Code on Property Fees of Vacant Houses

Property staff provide services in accordance with the regulations, and the owners shall not refuse to pay property fees on the grounds of not accepting property services.

Article 944 of the Civil Code stipulates that the owner shall pay the property fee to the property service provider as agreed. If the property service provider has provided services in accordance with the agreement and relevant regulations, the owner shall not refuse to pay the property fee on the grounds that he has not accepted or does not need to accept the relevant property services.

If the owner fails to pay the property fee within the time limit in violation of the agreement, the property service provider may urge him to pay it within a reasonable time limit, and the property service provider may bring a lawsuit or apply for arbitration.

The property service provider shall not stop power supply, water supply, heat supply and gas supply to demand payment of property fees. The Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC) does not specify whether it should be paid in full. The service provided by property management companies to residential areas is a kind of public service. Generally speaking, as long as the owner has obtained the property right, he should pay the property management fee. If there is no special agreement in the contract, the property management fee of the vacant house shall be paid in full according to the standard. A few areas have local policies, such as paying 70% for the first year without decoration or occupancy.
