Can I claim compensation if the property contract is not renewed upon expiration?

Legal analysis: if the property contract is not renewed upon expiration, it is generally impossible to claim compensation. However, if the owner or the owners' meeting fails to hire a new property service provider or decides to take over the property service by itself, the original property service provider may request to pay the property fee during the service period.

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

Article 948 After the expiration of the term of realty service, if the owner fails to make a decision to renew or select the realty service provider according to law, and the realty service provider continues to provide realty service, the original realty service contract shall remain valid, but the service term is uncertain.

Article 950 After the termination of the realty service contract, the original realty service provider shall continue to handle the realty service matters before the new realty service provider selected by the owner or the owners' congress or the owner who decides to manage it by himself takes over, and may require the owner to pay the realty fee for this period.
