The new house has been delivered. Do I have to pay a property fee if I don't move in?

Legal analysis: property fees are required for people who do not live in the house. The property fee will be paid from the day of delivery. The payment of the new house property fee is calculated from the date when the owner closes the house, not from the date when the contract is signed.

Legal basis: Article 41 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Property Management Regulations stipulates that the owner shall pay the property service fee according to the agreement in 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.
