Is it legal not to pay the property fee or accept the house?

Legal analysis: After the owners' committee is established according to law, the property management contract signed by the owners' committee and the property service enterprise is binding on all owners. The owners' committee has not signed a written realty service contract with the realty service enterprise, but the owners have actually accepted the realty service, and the owners shall pay corresponding fees to the realty service enterprise according to the actual service price as a reward for providing services. Paying property fees is a legal obligation. From a legal point of view, since the owner has reached an agreement with the property company to pay the property fee when he moves in, the owner should pay unconditionally.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
