Can the property fee be exempted?

Strictly speaking, the expenses arising from the default of property fees cannot be called late fees. Under normal circumstances, the expenses arising from non-payment of property fees are liquidated damages, and whether it is necessary to pay liquidated damages depends on the specific circumstances. Whether there is liquidated damages for unpaid property fees mainly depends on whether such liquidated damages are stipulated in the property service contract between the owner and the property management unit.
