How to deal with the inconsistency of property fees in the same community?

If the property fees of the same community are not uniform, the owners may request the people's court to cancel them.

The standard of property fees for residential areas shall be formulated by the owners' committee according to the property management service contract, relevant regulations and the actual situation of residential areas. If the property fee standard is formulated according to the actual situation of the community and the property service contract, and in line with relevant laws and regulations, then it is reasonable that the property fees of different residential communities are different.

However, if the standard of property fees for the same property is too high, it may be illegal. In this case, the owner may request the people's court to cancel it. In addition, if the owners' committee violates the relevant regulations when formulating the property fee standards, such as not voting according to the prescribed procedures or not publicizing according to the regulations, then the decision may be regarded as invalid, and the owners may request the people's court to revoke it and renegotiate the property fee standards. The formulation and collection of property fees need to comply with relevant laws, regulations and contractual agreements, and should be fair, reasonable and transparent. If the owners have doubts about the standard of property fees, or think that there are illegal acts, they can safeguard their rights and interests through legal channels.

To sum up, the residential property fees include the daily operation and maintenance costs of the parts and facilities used by the property; Cleaning and sanitation expenses in the property management area; Wages of property management service personnel, social insurance and welfare fees drawn according to regulations, etc. The charging standard shall be subject to market-adjusted price, which shall be formulated through consultation between the owners' congress and the property company.
