Can I reduce the property fee if I don't stay?

The house you bought has not moved in yet, so you have to pay the property management fee, but it can be reduced through negotiation. For example, from 2065438 to September 2005, Xiong bought a set of rough houses in D district of P city. After the developer handed it over to Xiong, Xiong had not been renovated for work reasons. After the residential property service company urged Xiong to pay the property service fee, Xiong did not fully enjoy the property service on the grounds that he had not been renovated, and asked for a 50% discount on the property service fee. As a result, the two sides launched a dispute with the people's court. In the end, the court ruled that Xiong paid the property service fee and paid the corresponding liability for breach of contract to the residential property service company in full. If the house is not renovated within one year after receiving the house, the full property fee will be paid. After one year, if you still don't decorate or move in, you can pay 70%-80% of the full property fee. The purchase of commercial housing is uninhabited, and property management fees are also required. If the house is idle for a long time, you can negotiate with the property management company or charge it at a discount according to the relevant local policies.

Property fees can be reduced or exempted under the following circumstances:

1. If the house is not delivered, the property fee shall be paid by the developer.

Property fees are generally paid in advance for half a year or one year from the day of turnkey. If the quality problem is found to seriously affect the occupancy when the house is handed over, the developer will pay the property fee before the house is repaired and notified again. Remember that your words are groundless, and you must keep the evidence.

If the delivery of the house is delayed due to the owner's reasons, the starting time of the property fee shall be calculated from the previously agreed delivery date, and the property fee during the extension period shall be paid together with the owner's receipt of the house.

2. The house is for rent, and the contract indicates that the property fee shall be paid by the tenant.

If the house has been rented, the property fee shall be borne by the owner unless otherwise agreed by both parties. If there is a clear agreement in the lease contract that the property fee shall be paid by the lessee during the lease period, and the contract is confirmed in writing by the property management company, the property fee shall be paid by the lessee and the owner shall bear joint liability.

3. Vacant houses can apply for property fee reduction.

After the acceptance of the owners, vacant houses that have not been renovated and do not have occupancy conditions or have not been used for a long time after occupancy may apply to the property for reduction or exemption of property fees. The specific relief range is determined by the owner and the property through consultation, which is generally 70% or 50% of the charging standard agreed in the contract. However, in order to avoid the emergence of fake vacant houses, the property will charge a one-time property fee for half a year and control water and electricity.

4. The property raises the charging standard and expands the charging range without authorization.

In violation of the contract or the relevant provisions, the people's court shall support the expansion of the scope of fees, the increase of fees or the repeated charges without authorization. If the owner requests the property to refund the illegal fees it has collected, the people's court shall support it. Therefore, if the property management company charges in violation of regulations, the owner can raise a defense and refuse to pay.
