Is the corridor lighting fee a property fee?

The corridor lamp fee belongs to the property fee.

According to the property service contract, the property fee paid by the owner includes the public lighting fee, and the property management party should no longer charge the owner the corridor lighting fee. Property companies should use property fees to pay for lighting electricity in public areas, and owners should not bear additional costs. If the property management company requires the owner to pay the public lighting fee already included in the property management fee, it is illegal to do so. Car owners can refuse to pay and complain to the relevant departments or take legal action.

Composition of property fees:

1. Property management fee: used to pay the management service fee of the property management company;

2. Public energy costs: including corridor lighting, elevator operation, public facilities in public areas, etc.

3. Maintenance fund: used for the maintenance and upgrading of public facilities and equipment in the community;

4. Cleaning fee: used to pay the cleaning fee for the public area of the community;

5. Greening fee: used for planting and maintaining green vegetation in the community;

7. Garbage disposal fee: used for the collection, transportation and disposal of community garbage;

8. Other service fees: fees charged according to other services provided by the property management company.

To sum up, the owner has paid the public lighting fee through the property management fee, and it is illegal for the property management to ask the owner to pay the extra corridor lighting fee. The owner has the right to refuse such extra fees, and can safeguard his rights and interests through complaints or legal channels.
