Is it legal not to pay the property fee or take the elevator?

It is unreasonable not to pay the property fee and not to use the elevator. The property company shut down the elevator on the grounds of not paying the property fee, and restricted the owners from taking the elevator. Even the owners who paid the fee could not use the elevator, which seriously violated the legitimate rights and interests of the owners. Property fee refers to the fees charged by property owners and users who entrust property management units to carry out daily maintenance, repair, renovation and other services for houses, buildings and equipment, public facilities, greening, sanitation, transportation, public security, environment and other facilities related to residents' lives in residential areas.

Violation of the property service contract, overdue payment or refusal to pay the property service fee without justifiable reasons, the owners' committee has the right to urge them to pay within a time limit; If it fails to pay within the time limit, the property management enterprise may bring a lawsuit to the people's court. The Supreme People's Court's Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Property Service Disputes further stipulates that if the owner refuses to pay the property fee without justifiable reasons or fails to pay the property fee within a reasonable period after being urged in writing, the people's court shall support the property service enterprise to request the owner to pay the property fee. Property service enterprises have provided services in accordance with the contract and relevant regulations, and the people's court will not support the owners' defense on the grounds that they do not enjoy or need to accept relevant property services. Therefore, if the owner refuses to pay the property fee without justifiable reasons, he will bear the liability for breach of contract to the property management enterprise and bear all the adverse consequences caused by losing the case.
