For those who have not signed a contract with the owner, the owner may refuse to pay the property fee. What is the legal basis?

According to the relevant provisions of the Property Management Regulations, if the owners' committee signs a property management contract with the property management company, the owners shall be bound by it and have the obligation to pay the property fee. If the owners' committee has not signed a property service contract with the property company, but the owners have actually accepted the property service, the owners shall pay the corresponding fees to the property company according to the actual service price.

According to the property management regulations:

Article 34

The owners' committee shall conclude a written realty service contract with the realty service enterprise selected by the owners' congress. Property service contracts shall stipulate property management matters, service quality, service fees, rights and obligations of both parties, management and use of special maintenance funds, property management premises, contract term, liability for breach of contract, etc.

Article 41

The owner shall pay the property service fee in accordance with the provisions of 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.
