Can the tenant cancel the contract without paying the property fee?

Legal analysis: Yes. If a written house lease contract is not concluded, it will be regarded as an indefinite lease, and the landlord can demand to terminate the contract at any time and pay the rent in arrears. It is a breach of contract for the tenant not to pay the rent according to the oral agreement of both parties, and he needs to bear the liability for breach of contract for paying the rent.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Article 703 A lease contract is a contract in which the lessor delivers the lease item to the lessee for use and profit, and the lessee pays the rent.

Article 704 The contents of a lease contract generally include terms such as the name, quantity, purpose, lease term, rent, payment term and method, and maintenance of the lease item.

Article 707 Where the lease term is more than six months, it shall be in written form. If the parties fail to determine the lease term in writing, it shall be regarded as an indefinite lease.
