New regulations on property fee management

The new regulations on the management of property charges are the fees set by the property privately, and the owners do not need to pay them. If the house is not delivered due to quality problems, the developer shall bear the property fee. If the supporting facilities in the community are not up to standard, the property fee can be reduced or exempted.

1. The owner does not need to pay the fees stipulated by the property privately. Property management fees shall be implemented in accordance with relevant national policies and regulations, and no arbitrary charges shall be charged. However, there are also some communities that set up some charging items that do not meet the national regulations under various excuses to defraud the owners of additional property fees. According to the new policy of property fee standard 202 1, there is no need to pay these improper fees.

2. If the house is not delivered due to the quality problem of the house, the developer shall bear the property fee. Some developers require owners to pay property fees for two years or longer at the stage of selling or handing over houses. Some projects have not been paid because of quality problems, but the property fees have been calculated. If the owner finds a similar situation, he can refuse to pay the property fee on this ground.

3. If the residential facilities are not up to standard, the property fee can be reduced or exempted. In order to sell the house, the supporting facilities in the community will be exaggerated too much. Unit access is less than the contract standard, the number of elevators is less than the contract standard, and the greening rate is less than the contract standard. Owners with imperfect supporting facilities in the residential area may request to reduce or exempt some property fees.
