Why can property fees be collected one year in advance?

Legal analysis: The legal basis for prepaying the property fee for one year is the property service contract signed based on the provisions of the Civil Code, that is, if the residential area where you live has not signed a property service contract with the owner, you can ask the property company to show the previous property service contract signed with the developer and find a clear agreement from the contract. General property fees are collected from the date of delivery of the house. If the house does not meet the delivery standard, the owner may refuse to accept the house. Once the house is closed, it means that the current delivery situation has been accepted and the property fee needs to be paid.
