What is the impact of not paying the residential property fee?

1. Violation of the property contract: many owners may not notice it. In fact, we have signed a property contract with the property management company. According to the property management contract, the property management company carries out maintenance, conservation and management of the houses, supporting facilities and related sites, and maintains the environmental sanitation and order in the relevant areas. As the owner, you need to pay the property fee according to the provisions of the property contract. If the property management company does not violate the contract, then the owner must act according to the contract.

2. Late payment fee: Generally, the property management company will give the owner a grace period of several months to delay the payment of property fees. According to the provisions of the property management service contract, if the property service contract signed between the owner and the property management company contains the clause of adding late payment fee. After the end of this short grace period, if the owners have not paid the property fees, the property management company can charge the owners who have not paid the property service fees after the time limit according to the contract.

3. Involved in judicial troubles: A few owners refuse to pay property fees, which may bring adverse consequences to other owners. If many people fail to pay the property fee for a long time, the property will sue the owners who have not paid it. Under normal circumstances, in view of the owner's refusal to pay the property fee, the result of the property company's prosecution is to pay the property fee. Therefore, even if the property itself is not in place, in order to protect the property and prevent other communities from following suit, the law will favor the property company. If the property is not in place, it is suggested that the owner can leave time and evidence with his camera and mobile phone in case of emergency.

Under what circumstances can I refuse to pay the property fee?

1. Unqualified house inspection: After the developer issues the house inspection notice, the owner can go to inspect the house. After passing the house inspection, they must pay a certain property fee according to the regulations. However, if it is carried out during the house inspection, it is impossible to provide the house acceptance certificate to the purchaser; This may lead to the failure of house inspection. In addition to these certificates, developers also need to provide "residential quality guarantee" and "residential instructions". When the owner does not see these documents, he can refuse to inspect the house. Of course, there is no need to pay property fees in this case.

2. The developer delays the delivery: There is time between the developer and the owner. If the developer can't deliver the house at the delivery time, he can refuse to pay the property fee. Also, when the developer can't produce the supporting documents or the supporting documents are incomplete, the owner has the right to refuse to hand over the house. The responsibility brought by this behavior should also be borne by the developer. However, if the house is handed over smoothly, regardless of whether the owner wants to live here or not, the property fee must be paid in accordance with relevant regulations.

3. The former owner of the second-hand house owes money: During the transaction of the second-hand house, it is also possible that the property fee of the former owner has not been paid. According to the property management regulations, this fee should be paid by the user, that is, the former owner. In this case, the new owner can refuse to hand over the house between repossessions, but if the property has already started to be used, it will bear joint liability. If the original owner fails to pay, the current property user will pay the property.

4. Additional services provided by the property management company: there is a contract between the property and the owner. If the property provides services without authorization in violation of the contract, and then collects the corresponding property fee from the owner, this situation belongs to the property company's failure to comply with the contract, and the owner may not pay the property fee. Even if the subsequent property company sues the owner, the court will not support the property company.
