Can a property with a leaking roof be exempted from paying property fees?

Legal analysis: Therefore, there is no legal basis for refusing to pay property fees on the grounds of leaking rain. Questioning the composition of property fee is mainly based on the civil agreement of property management contract and the definition of property management by the state. The latter definitely does not include roof leakage, while the former determines that roof leakage is man-made damage (decoration) according to the specific contract (99% can't have this maintenance responsibility), and the actor is responsible for the maintenance of non-man-made damage. The developer is responsible for the maintenance period, and the maintenance fund will pay for it outside the maintenance period.

Legal basis: Article 944 of General Principles of Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the owner shall pay the property fee to the property service provider as agreed. If the property service provider has provided services in accordance with the agreement and relevant regulations, the owner shall not refuse to pay the property fee on the grounds that he has not accepted or does not need to accept the relevant property services.

If the owner fails to pay the property fee within the time limit in violation of the agreement, the property service provider may urge him to pay it within a reasonable period of time; If the payment is not made within a reasonable period, the property service provider may bring a lawsuit or apply for arbitration.

The property service provider shall not stop power supply, water supply, heat supply and gas supply to demand payment of property fees.
