Do I have to pay the property fee if I haven't closed the house yet?

Legal analysis: Although the owner has not yet taken over the house, the preliminary property service work has actually started, and the preliminary property service agreement has come into effect. The property fee collection standard for the owner's vacant house will generally be reflected in the preliminary property service agreement.

Due to the difference between cities and property companies, the charging standards for vacant houses are also quite different. Some places charge different proportions of property fees according to the length of vacant time.

Legal basis: Measures for the Administration of Commercial Housing Sales in People's Republic of China (PRC) Article 13 If a real estate development enterprise selects a property management enterprise in the process of commercial housing sales, the buyer shall conclude a property management agreement with the property management enterprise selected by the real estate development enterprise when concluding a commercial housing sales contract.
