Is it illegal to call for property fees?

It is not illegal to ask for property fees, as follows:

1. Because the property is to protect its own interests, it is the right of the property company to collect property fees from the owner's home, which is reasonable and legal. Because the annual collection rate of property fees is high, it determines the quality of property services and management in the next year;

2. 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.

Legal basis: Article 40 of the Regulations on Property Management.

Property service charges should follow the principles of rationality, openness and adaptability between fees and service levels, and distinguish the nature and characteristics of different properties. The owners and the realty service enterprise shall, according to the charging standards for realty service formulated by the competent price department of the State Council in conjunction with the administrative department of construction of the State Council, stipulate in the realty service contract.

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.
