Does the property management company have the right to seize the owner's house key?

No right. It is the developer's obligation to deliver the house to the owner. If the owner has paid the house price, the developer must deliver the house to the owner. Property management companies deliver houses to owners to fulfill their obligations on behalf of developers, only in the name of developers, not in their own names. The property management company refuses to give the owner the house key because of the owner's refusal to sign the owners' convention or other reasons, which is to attach its relevant rights in the property management contract to the developer's obligation to deliver the house, which is not in compliance with the law.

Should the property management company compensate the owner for the stolen property?

1. If the property management of the community owner is special management, that is, the security fee agreed in the property management contract includes the property custody service, then if the property is lost, the owner may require the special management company to bear the corresponding compensation liability according to the custody obligation.

2. There is no agreement, but there is evidence to prove that the property management company is negligent in management, fails to fulfill its safety precautions or is not equipped with appropriate safety precautions, and is at fault for property losses. The property management company shall bear the liability for compensation commensurate with its fault.

Of course, if the property management company has fulfilled its normal security obligations and is not at fault, the property management company may not be liable for compensation.
