Consequences of being sued for not paying property fees

Legal analysis: property companies can bring a lawsuit to the people's court if they don't pay property fees. If the people's court confirms that the owner has not paid the property fee, it will order the owner to pay it. If the owner still refuses to pay, the property company can apply for compulsory execution.

Legal basis: Article 9 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). In trying civil cases, the people's courts shall conduct mediation on the basis of voluntariness and legality. If mediation fails, a judgment shall be made in time.

Article 238 If one party fails to perform the creditor's rights documents that can be enforced by the notary office according to law, the other party may apply to the people's court with jurisdiction for enforcement, and the people's court applying for enforcement shall enforce them.

If the notarized creditor's rights document is indeed wrong, the people's court shall rule that it will not be executed, and serve the ruling on both parties and the notary office.

Article 252 If the person subjected to execution fails to perform the act specified in the judgment, ruling or other legal documents according to the notice of execution, the people's court may enforce it or entrust the relevant unit or other person to complete it, and the expenses shall be borne by the person subjected to execution.
