Is it okay not to pay the property late fee?

Property companies have no right to collect late fees, but they can pay liquidated damages according to the contract requirements. Late payment fee refers to a certain proportion of late payment fee for failing to pay taxes according to the tax payment period or repaying loans according to the repayment period. It is a measure for tax authorities or creditors to give economic sanctions to overdue parties. The late payment fee has the characteristics of statutory, compulsory and punitive. The so-called statutory, that is, the late payment fee is money explicitly stipulated by national laws and regulations, and individuals and other enterprises and organizations have no right to set it up privately; Compulsory means that the collection of late fees is guaranteed by the state compulsory force.

Property service enterprises have provided services in accordance with the contract and relevant regulations, and the people's court will not support the owners' defense on the grounds that they do not enjoy or need to accept relevant property services.
