Can I not pay the property management fee when handing over the house?

The state stipulates that property companies can collect property fees in advance, and according to the provisions of the local price bureau, property companies can collect property fees in advance for 3-6 months.

According to China's price law, property fees can be charged in advance, but local price bureaus have strict regulations on the prepayment of property fees. As long as the property company collects the highest monthly advance payment stipulated by the local price bureau, the owner must pay it, otherwise he can't get the house key and can't go through the check-in formalities, and the losses caused by it are borne by the owner himself.

China's Property Law stipulates that it is the owner's obligation to pay the property fee, and the Property Management Regulations stipulates that the property fee shall be paid by the owner after receiving the notice of occupancy from the developer, regardless of whether the procedures are complete or not. Living is the owner's right, and it is impossible to rely on property fees.
