Is it reasonable for the property not to charge heating fees?

Whether it is reasonable for the property not to charge heating fees depends on the specific situation and the provisions of relevant laws and regulations.

First of all, we need to know why the property company doesn't charge for heating. If it is because the heating unit fails to provide heating to the community on time, resulting in the community being unable to enjoy the heating service, then the property management company may refuse to charge the heating fee.

However, if the heating fee is not paid on time due to the owner's own reasons, or the community has enjoyed the heating service but the owner has not paid the heating fee, then the property company cannot refuse to charge the heating fee.

According to the Regulations of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Property Management, the property management company shall provide corresponding services in accordance with the contract and maintain the public order and environment of the community. If a property company fails to perform its contractual obligations, or abuses its rights and damages the legitimate rights and interests of community owners, it shall bear corresponding legal responsibilities.

Therefore, if the property company does not charge the heating fee because of the heating unit, then it can be considered that the behavior of the property company is reasonable. However, if the owner fails to pay the heating fee for his own reasons, or the property management company fails to fulfill its contractual obligations, the owner cannot enjoy the heating service, then there may be problems in the behavior of the property management company.

To sum up:

Whether it is reasonable for the property not to charge heating fees needs to be judged according to the specific situation and the provisions of relevant laws and regulations. If it is because of the heating unit that the community cannot enjoy the heating service, then the behavior of the property company can be considered reasonable. However, if the owner fails to pay the heating fee for his own reasons, or the property management company fails to fulfill its contractual obligations, the owner cannot enjoy the heating service, then there may be problems in the behavior of the property management company. It is suggested that the owner negotiate with the property company to solve the related problems or complain to the relevant departments.

Legal basis:

Article 36 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Property Management Regulations stipulates: "Property service enterprises shall provide corresponding services in accordance with the stipulations of the property service contract. If the realty service enterprise fails to fulfill the stipulations of the realty service contract, causing personal and property safety damage to the owner, it shall bear corresponding legal responsibilities according to law.
