Can I not pay the property fee if I don't accept the house?

Legal analysis: you can't refuse to pay the property fee if you don't accept the house. Although the owner has not taken over the house, the preliminary property service work has actually started, and the preliminary property service agreement has also come into effect. The charging standard of the owner's vacant house property fee will generally be reflected in the preliminary property service agreement. So even if you don't accept the house, you have to pay the property fee.

Legal basis: Article 41 of the Regulations on Property Management, the owner shall pay the property service fee according to the agreement in the property service contract. If the owner and the user of the property agree that the user of the property shall pay the property service fee, the owner shall bear joint and several liability from the agreement. Property that has been completed but has not been sold or handed over to the property buyer shall be paid by the construction unit.
