Is it a breach of contract not to pay the property fee?

Failure to pay the property management fee is a breach of contract, and it is the owner's basic contractual obligation to pay the property management fee according to all property contracts. If you are unwilling to pay the property fee for various reasons, you should negotiate with the property and report it to the relevant departments. It is not a good choice to express dissatisfaction without paying property fees.

Under what circumstances can I not pay the property fee?

1, illegal collection of property fees.

If the property company collects property fees in violation of regulations, then the community owners can refuse to pay the property fees. At present, the problem of illegal collection of property fees by property companies is very serious, but most owners submit to humiliation. In fact, in this case, the owners can refuse to pay too much property fees, because the property companies dare not sue you, because they are also indefensible.

2. Adding services without consent.

Without the consent of the owner, the property company increases the service without authorization, and the owner can also refuse to pay the property fee. Generally speaking, community owners will sign property service contracts with property companies. If the property company increases the service items without the consent of the industry committee or the owners, then the owners of the community can refuse to pay the service fee according to the property service contract signed at that time.

3. Delayed delivery of the house

The developer delays the delivery of the house from time to time, so if you encounter delay, you can also refuse to pay the property fee, because the reason why the developer delays the delivery of the house is generally due to their own reasons, so the owner does not have to pay the property fee at this time. In this case, the property fee should be borne by the developer.

4. No house.

In the case that the owner does not take over the house, it is also possible to refuse to pay the property fee. Generally speaking, the property fee will be calculated from the official receipt of the house by the owner. Therefore, if the owner is in a state of not officially accepting the house, but the property company wants to charge in advance, then the owner can refuse to pay. However, if the property buyer has indeed closed the house, but has not moved in, then in this case, the property fee should be paid normally.
