Is it illegal not to pay the residential property fee?

Not paying property fees is not illegal, but it is a breach of contract. If many people don't pay the property fee for a long time, the property will sue the owners who didn't pay the fee, and the result of the prosecution is to make up the property fee.

Under normal circumstances, even if the property itself is not in place, in order to protect the property and prevent other communities from following suit, the law will tend to the property side. As for the place where the property is not in place, I suggest you take your camera and mobile phone to leave time and evidence for emergencies.

Impact of not paying property fees:

1, violating the property contract

Everyone needs to go through the formalities of house handover when collecting the house, including the formalities of property handover. The owner selects a property management company, and the owner and the property management company maintain the community according to the property business contract. Accordingly, the owner needs to pay the property fee to the property company. If the property company does not violate the contract, it must pay the property fee according to the contract, so in this case, if the buyer does not pay the property fee, it is considered that the owner has violated the property contract.

2, generate late fees

After the owner refuses to pay the property fee, the general property company will take the initiative to contact the owner not to pay the property fee, but if the owner still refuses to pay the property fee, there will be a late fee. Late payment fees may be a relatively small problem. Some cities will refuse to pay property fees into the scope of personal credit evaluation. Once there is a problem with personal credit, it will have a great impact on the current credit life.

3, involved in judicial disputes

One owner's failure to pay the property fee may have a great impact, and other owners will follow suit. If the owner fails to pay the property fee for a long time and refuses to pay the property fee after being urged by the property company, then the property company will not be able to serve and manage the community normally. In this case, the property management enterprise can bring a lawsuit to the people's court, and the result of the property company's lawsuit to the court is to let the owner make up the property fee.

legal ground
