About the arrears of heating and water charges left over after the transfer?

If you leave enough property deposit when signing the contract, take Beijing as an example. The general rule is 20 thousand, the property can be delivered and finally paid to the owner; Incorrect delivery, for example, if you say that you are in arrears with the property fee, you will directly deduct it!

If this property deposit was not left at that time, there are two situations:

First, ask the intermediary for it. Let the intermediary pad first, they go to the owner to discuss, only a few big intermediaries are willing to pad. ...

Second, the intermediary, whether there is an intermediary or not, can only find compensation from the owner himself. There are laws to follow here, and it is reasonable to go to court in extreme cases.

You can take a look at this when you are free:

Paragraph 3 of Article 15 of the Measures for the Administration of Property Service Fees: When the property right is transferred, the owner or user of the property shall settle the property service fee or property service fund.

It is particularly important to note that the collection of heating fees in Beijing has always been a difficult problem, and the average collection rate of property fees is only 70%. If you don't pay attention in advance, the former owner may have to pay back the money and may be blacklisted.

It is best to check whether the house is in arrears before the transfer. If yes, the original owner is required to pay off all the debts before the transfer.
