Isn't it a property fee to notify the house to be closed?

The process of notifying the owner not to charge the property fee is as follows:

If the house is not closed at the time of delivery, the property fee will be paid, because the fee is calculated from the date when the owner receives the delivery notice, not from the delivery date in the purchase contract.

There are two ways to pay property fees:

1. The developer delayed the delivery of the house and did not send the occupancy notice to all the owners in any form. In this case, there is no need to pay property management fees. The so-called property management fee is actually the service fee that the owner should pay to the property service company while actually enjoying the property service;

2. The developer informs the owner to handle the occupancy notice, and the property fee will be collected from the date when the owner receives the occupancy notice. In other words, if you have received the check-in notice, and the check-in formalities are delayed due to personal reasons, even if you haven't handed over the house and didn't get the key, the property fee will be charged normally.

To sum up, for the owners, if they don't take back the house when it's time to hand over the house, the owners will lose the benefits of the deadline. Because the agreement was signed with the developer when buying a house, its content clearly indicates that after the general acceptance handover, both parties should sign the "Commercial Housing Handover Form". If it is not agreed in time, or the house is not closed, the developer will charge the owner the corresponding liquidated damages and part of the property fee.
