Do I have to pay property fees when I buy an unfurnished house?

According to the "Property Management Regulations", even if the owner does not move in, he must pay the property management fee after completing the formalities of closing the house. And the property fee has nothing to do with decoration and occupancy.

Extended data:

When to pay the property fee varies according to different regions and communities, but most communities start to collect the property fee from the day the developer delivers the house. If the owner fails to pay the property fee, he will be sued by the property and need to pay a late fee.

1. It starts from the day when the developer informs you of the final delivery date, because at that time, the developer has already handed over the house to the property fee, and the developer no longer subsidizes the property fee. If the housing quality problem does not meet the delivery conditions, you can ask the property consultant to reduce the property fee.

2. From the day you hand over the house to the property management company to collect the key, you start to pay the property management fee (usually half a year in advance). You can consult the local authorities for details.

According to Article 42 of the Property Management Regulations, the owner shall pay the property service fee in accordance with the property service contract. If the owner and the user of the property agree that the user of the property shall pay the property service fee, the owner shall bear joint and several liability from the agreement. The property service fee shall be paid by the property developer before the property is actually delivered to the buyer for possession, and shall be paid jointly by the owner and the buyer after the actual delivery.

According to Article 6 of the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Property Service Disputes, the property service enterprise has provided services in accordance with the contract and relevant provisions, and the people's court will not support the owner who only claims that he has not enjoyed or needs to accept the relevant property services.

It can be seen that the owner should pay the property fee in time without special circumstances to avoid being sued for not paying the property fee.
