Do I have to pay the property fee for the first month?

If there is an agreement between the owner and the lessee on the property fee in the lease contract, it shall be in accordance with the contract. However, if there is no agreement between the owner and the lessee on the property fee, the property fee shall be borne by the owner.

If the contract stipulates that the owner shall pay the property fee, the owner is the only subject to bear the property fee. However, if the contract stipulates that the lessee shall pay the property fee, the owner shall still bear joint and several liability for the payment of the property fee. Because, although the actual user of the property has obtained the property service, he is not a party to the property service contract, and the owner is still the first responsible person to pay the property service fee. If the owner and the lessee agree that the lessee should pay the property fee, the agreement belongs to debt transfer in nature. If the property company approves the agreement, it should be regarded as a legal relationship of debt commitment between the owner and the lessee, but this debt commitment is not exempted. According to the legal principle of exempt debt commitment, if the property fee is in arrears, the property company should directly sue the actual user of the property and can no longer claim compensation from the owner. However, the debt commitment agreed in the property fee is a co-existing debt commitment, and the owner cannot be exempted from liability because of the debt commitment, but still has to bear joint and several liability for the property fee. According to Article 42 of the Property Management Regulations, if the owner and the actual user of the property agree that the actual user will pay the property service fee, such agreement shall prevail, but the owner shall bear joint and several liability.

The owner is the main body of the property service contract and has the obligation to pay the property fee. If there is no agreement on the property fee between the owner and the lessee, the obligation to pay the property fee has not changed, and obviously it should still be borne by the owner. After paying the property fee, the owner has no right to ask the lessee to bear the cost. The lessee shall pay the rent in accordance with the stipulations of the house lease contract. Unless otherwise specified, the rent includes the property fee. If the owner thinks that the lessee should bear the property fee, he can negotiate with the lessee, or bring a lawsuit to the people's court to change the house lease contract on the grounds of major misunderstanding or obviously unfair.

Under normal circumstances, if the owner rents the house to others, the lessee will naturally bear the property fee at this time, but the specific parties can also agree after consultation. There are regulations on the charging standard of property fees in China. As a commercial house, the property fee at this time is naturally higher than that of a civil house.

When renting a house, this kind of two-in-one mortgage means that the landlord has two months of housing units as a deposit, and then you pay one month's rent. That is, if you rent for a long time, many landlords will charge you a deposit. If you are only in short rent for one month, you may not need to pay this deposit, but it depends on each landlord. And this deposit will be returned to you when you check out, which is equivalent to the deposit given by the landlord to prevent you from destroying the house. This is a way to rent a house in many big cities.
