Property Law 202 1 New Regulation on Property Fees of Vacant Houses

New regulations on property fees for vacant houses in 2022

Since 202 1, 1, 1, the new provisions of the civil code have come into effect. The provision on the payment of property fees is: "Property service personnel provide relevant services in accordance with the regulations, and the owners shall not refuse to pay property fees on the grounds that they have not accepted or do not need to accept relevant property services." Objectively speaking, the main body of property services is the whole community, not an owner. Also, when you close the house, the property service contract signed with the property management company will clearly indicate the agreed matters. If you have no clear evidence to prove that the property management company fails to perform the contract, it can be regarded as your breach of contract.

At the same time, however, the Civil Code also stipulates restrictions on property companies to collect property fees. Article 944 also stipulates that property managers cannot collect property fees by stopping power supply, water supply, heating and gas supply. The new civil code not only stipulates the service of property and the payment of property fees, but also reaffirms the ownership of the income in the public area of the community. According to the new regulations, if the construction unit, property service company or other managers use the public part of the owner to bring in income, after deducting reasonable costs, the rest will be owned by the owner.

According to the data, at present, more than 20% of cities in China, housing vacancy rate, have more than 70 million vacant houses nationwide. According to the latest provisions of the Civil Law, these vacant houses, regardless of whether the owners can't live, have to pay a "property fee" of 202 1! In this regard, the owner should understand.
