Eight legal reasons for refusing to pay property fees

Article 7 of the Regulations on Property Management promulgated by the State Council clearly stipulates that "paying property service fees on time" is a basic obligation of the owners. Only under the following circumstances, the owner can not pay or underpay the property service fee:

1. Except as stipulated in the property management service contract, the property management enterprise provides services by itself. Without the approval of the owners' committee or owners' assembly, the owners or users shall not pay the fees.

The owner may refuse to pay for the part of the property service charge that belongs to the government-guided price.

2. If the property management enterprise fails to perform the obligations stipulated in the property service contract, the owner cannot pay or underpay the corresponding property service fee.

3. The property management company raises the charging standard of property services and raises some fees that the owners cannot pay.
