No one lives in the house for half a year. Is the property fee halved?

The house is unoccupied and the property fee cannot be reduced. Because the house has been taken over, it is the owner's choice not to live, but the property management company has played a safe and clean role in the public parts, so it cannot be exempted. But it can be reduced through negotiation. The general property fee of 1 year can be reduced by 1 month, with a maximum of 70%. Because there is no check-in, no elevator, no public lighting, no electricity bill, and no one will produce domestic garbage when living at home. These are all saved for the property management company, so the property management fee can be reduced.

Property fees are generally paid in advance for half a year or one year from the day of turnkey. If the quality problem is found to seriously affect the occupancy when the house is handed over, the developer will pay the property fee before the house is repaired and notified again. Remember that your words are groundless, and you must keep the evidence.

After the acceptance of the owner, the vacant house that has not been decorated and does not have occupancy conditions or has not been used for a long time after occupancy may apply to the property for property fee reduction. 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.

Do you pay property fees for houses that are vacant all the year round?

1. If the house is empty, you have to pay the property fee. If the house you bought is really unoccupied and not decorated, you can apply for property reduction, and you can pay less 10% to 30% of the property fee. There are also basic rules when applying for relief. The requirement is that you can only apply if you have not lived in the house for more than six months, and you must also produce written proof.

2. According to the relevant regulations, if the owner has stayed in the vacant property for more than six months continuously, and has not stayed or used it for a long time, the owner shall file a written record with the property management company and pay the vacant property management fee at 70% of the stipulated or agreed service fee.
