Do I need to pay a property fee one year in advance to get the key when I move into a new house?

The binding of property fees and house keys is unreasonable. Whether the owner pays the property fee first and whether the developer pays the key to the new house later are two legal relations. The Ministry of Construction and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce have issued a model text of commercial housing sales contract, which takes into account the protection of consumers' legitimate rights and interests and the interests of developers. In recent years, the complaint caused by the supplementary agreement of commercial housing sales contract has become a new hot spot in the field of commercial housing. Many developers want to renew supplementary agreements with buyers after signing commercial housing sales contracts, mainly because they want to add their own exemption clauses and put forward conditions for exempting themselves from their obligations. In the supplementary agreement for purchasing houses provided by developers, the drafted supplementary clauses are unilateral, which is often not conducive to the protection of consumers' legitimate rights and interests. Therefore, when signing a supplementary agreement with the developer on the commercial housing sales contract, we should carefully review the supplementary terms and reject unreasonable contents.

Property fees should be collected by the property company selected by the owners' committee after the buyers move in, and whether the charging standard is reasonable should also be decided by the owners' committee. If there is unreasonable agreement in the supplementary agreement of the commercial housing sales contract, the purchaser may apply for cancellation.
