Do you charge a property fee when you turn in the key?

Legal analysis: paying the key to a new house means paying the property fee. According to China's property management regulations, because the property management company has fulfilled its obligations, as long as the owner has gone through the formalities of handing over the house, the property fee will be paid regardless of whether he has moved in. For those completed but not yet sold or delivered, the property service fee shall be paid by the developer.

Legal basis: Article 41 of the Regulations on Property Management, the owner shall pay the property service fee according to the agreement in the property service contract. If the owner and the user of the property agree that the user of the property shall pay the property service fee, the owner shall bear joint and several liability from the agreement. Property that has been completed but has not been sold or handed over to the property buyer shall be paid by the construction unit.
