Is the new owner jointly and severally liable for the property fees owed by the original owner?

Legal analysis: there is no joint and several liability, and there is no need to bear the property fees left by the former. The problem of arrears left by house transfer has nothing to do with property buyers. Because the contract is relative, the contract is a problem between the two and cannot involve a third party. Since the service contract between the original owner and the property management company does not involve subsequent buyers, the new owner has no obligation to pay property fees. The new owner establishes a new property service contract relationship with the property management company after purchasing the house, and only promises to pay the property management fee after moving in.

Legal basis: Article 15 of the Measures for the Administration of Property Service Charges, the owner shall pay the property service fee or property service fund in full and on time according to the stipulations of the property service contract. If the owner fails to pay the service fee or property service fund within the time limit in violation of the property service contract, the owners' committee shall urge him to pay within a time limit; Overdue payment, property management companies can be recovered according to law. If the owner and the user of the property agree that the user of the property shall pay the property service fee or the property service fund, the owner shall bear joint and several liability from the agreement. When the property right is transferred, the owner or property user shall settle the property service fee or property service fund.
