Do I have to pay the property management fee if I buy a house and haven't lived yet?

Legal analysis: pay. The property management company's management of the whole community is a public service, including the management of vacant houses. The services of property management companies will not stop because individual owners do not actually live, so owners should pay management fees according to the contract after checking in, regardless of whether they live in or not.

Legal basis: Article 41 of the Regulations on Property Management, the owner shall pay the property service fee according to the agreement in 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. Property that has been completed but has not been sold or handed over to the property buyer shall be paid by the construction unit.
