When is the annual property fee reasonable?

Property fee refers to the fee that the property manager should pay according to the property service contract when providing property services. It is the owner's obligation to pay the property fee. If the owner is in arrears with the property fee, the property service provider may demand payment or bring a lawsuit, but it cannot demand payment by stopping power supply, water supply, heat supply and gas supply. The payment time of property fees can be indicated in the signed property management contract. The owner should go through the check-in formalities at the residential property management office and get the key to the new house, so he should start paying the property management fee. After the owner goes through the check-in formalities, the public service fee for property management shall be paid by the owner or user on a monthly basis, and the owners who have purchased but have not checked in within one year shall pay the public service fee standard for property management by half.
