How long will it take to make up the property fee owed? What is the deadline?

The law does not clearly stipulate whether the property fee is paid monthly or annually, but it is generally believed that it is paid monthly. For example, the property fee in May should be paid before the end of May. If not, the property management company has fulfilled the dunning procedure and notified the owner to pay the property fee. If the owner still fails to pay the property fee, the property company can bring a lawsuit to the court.

Property companies and owners are completely equal civil legal subjects, not the relationship between management and being managed. The owner pays the property fee, and the property company provides services according to the contract or agreement. Whether or not to pay the property fee and how much to pay the property fee are bound by the contract between the property company and the owner. The quality of property service is not up to standard, and the owner refuses to pay the property fee without justifiable reasons, all of which are violations of the contract and belong to civil legal adjustment.

Generally speaking, the owner's refusal to pay the property fee is a civil dispute, and it is still inconclusive. It may be that the owners deliberately cheat, or that the service of the property company is not in place, and the owners can vent their dissatisfaction. In this regard, property companies and owners should resolve disputes through proper channels such as consultation, mediation and litigation.
