Do I have to pay the property fee if I don't accept the house? Is there a legal basis?

Paying property fees is a legal obligation. If you don't accept the house, you have to pay the property fee. The owner shall pay the property service fee in accordance with the provisions of the property service contract.

Legal basis:

Article 7 of "People's Republic of China (PRC) Property Law" applies the government-guided price to the property service charges, and the price department of the people's government with pricing power shall, jointly with the real estate administrative department, formulate the corresponding benchmark price and its floating range according to the grade standard of property management services and other factors, and publish it regularly. The specific charging standard is agreed by the owner and the property management enterprise in the property service contract according to the specified benchmark price and floating range.
