Do I have to pay the property fee? How about not meeting?

Hello, under normal circumstances, the owner should pay the property fee to the property on time. If not, the property can sue the owner to make up all the property fees and pay the late payment fee, because according to the property management regulations, if the owner fails to pay or even refuses to pay the property service fee without justifiable reasons, it will violate the property service contract with the property. At this time, the owners' committee has the right to require the owners to pay within the prescribed time limit. If this is not paid, the property management company can take the owner to court, because the owner directly or indirectly enjoys the services provided by the property management company, and the law will not support the owner not to pay the property fee, and once the property management company does not pay the property fee, some property management companies will even take extreme measures to force the owner to pay the fee, such as cutting off water and electricity.

However, not all owners have to pay property fees. As long as the owner has justified reasons, he can refuse to pay the fee. In theory, as long as the property does not provide management services or there are problems with the services, they can not pay property fees. According to the provisions of the Supreme Law, there are generally eight situations that are considered as legitimate reasons for refusing to pay property fees. For example, the property fee includes the energy cost generated by power equipment such as heating or central air conditioning that the owner should not pay, or the property provides service fees that are not in the contract or are not agreed by the owner, so the property fee can be omitted; If you can produce evidence to prove that the property service is too poor, you can not pay it for a short time, but you should actively solve it; One is that in the case that the house is not closed or the quality of the house is not delivered, the property has to pay the property fee. At this point, it may not be paid. In the latter case, the property fee should be paid by the developer; Another is that there is no property service contract, and the owner does not need to pay; Of course, if the problem lies with the property management company, if there is no original approval document from the price management department, or if the property service fee is raised casually, the owner can refuse to pay or refuse to pay the increased fee.

Some people may ask, is it necessary to pay the property fee if the house is no longer occupied? The answer is yes. As long as you pay the house price, the house is yours, and you have to pay the property fee whether you live here or not. Because although I don't live here, all the facilities in the community are maintained by the property management company, which ensures the normal operation and the owners indirectly enjoy the property services. In other words, as long as the property company acts in accordance with the property service contract, even if the service is not in place, the owner should pay the fee according to the contract.

Of course, if the property service is really poor, you can report it to the owners' committee of the community. If it cannot be resolved through communication and consultation, the original property will be dismissed through due process according to law, and the new property will continue to serve. As the cost of maintaining the stable operation of the community, the owners should consciously pay, and don't bring trouble to themselves or even the operation of the whole community because of the property fee.
