Is it reasonable to charge for the credit card of the property elevator?

Whether the property elevator card charges are reasonable depends on the specific charging standards and purposes, as follows:

1. If the elevator card is only used to swipe the elevator card, and the property management company has clearly informed the charging standard, it is reasonable to charge a certain fee. These expenses can be used to maintain the safety of the community, avoid theft and post small advertisements.

2. It is unreasonable if the property company takes the elevator credit card fee as a means of charging privately. Owners don't have to pay the elevator card if they don't need it. The elevator card fee should be the cost for the property company to maintain the facilities and services in the community.

3. Property companies should not take compulsory measures such as water and electricity cuts to recover property fees, which is also illegal. The owner and the property management company shall perform their obligations according to the contract. If the owner fails to pay the property fee in time, the property management company should recover it through legal channels.

Generally speaking, the property elevator card recharge process is as follows:

1. The owner pays the elevator card fee to the property management company, including the card purchase fee and maintenance fee;

2. The property management company issues the elevator card to the owner, and the owner needs to swipe the card in the elevator;

3. The property company charges a certain elevator credit card fee, which is generally charged according to the fixed monthly fee standard of each card, and the corresponding fee is deducted from the card;

4. The property management company manages elevator cards, including card issuance, recharging, loss reporting and card cancellation;

5. The property management company recharges the elevator card regularly to ensure the use efficiency of the elevator card.

To sum up, whether the property elevator credit card charging is reasonable depends on the specific charging standard and purpose. The property company should clearly inform the charging standard and charge the fees according to the contract, instead of taking illegal compulsory measures.
