The second-hand house has not yet lived, and the property management fee actually owes money? The responsibility of the original owner cannot be exempted.

In the process of second-hand housing transaction, problems caused by property delivery often bring disputes to buyers and sellers, so it is very important for both parties to do a good job in property delivery.

Case Mr. Zhou just bought a second-hand house and is ready to install it. When he needed to sign and seal the residential property, he was told that he needed to pay the property management fee owed by his former landlord 1290 yuan. If he doesn't pay, the property won't be signed and sealed. When contacted by telephone, Ms. Hu, the former owner, denied that she was in arrears with the property management fee.

According to the information provided by the property management company, in recent years, Ms. Hu owed the property management fee of 1290 yuan, and only paid the health fee during the period. Considering that the property management fee is not owed by Mr. Zhou, give him a discount to 800 yuan.

According to the lawyer's analysis, Mr. Zhou has no obligation to pay the property management fee owed by the former owner. According to the provisions of the municipal property management regulations, the former owner defaulted on the property fee, so the property company can only find the former owner, and they are in a property service contract relationship and cannot bind the third party other than the two parties. After the new owner buys a house, he establishes a new property service contract relationship with the property and only undertakes the obligation to pay the property management fee after moving in. The statement of the property management company is untenable.

Warmly remind the lawyer that Mr. Zhou doesn't have to pay the property fee owed by the former owner. But this incident brought great trouble to Mr. Zhou. In order to avoid this situation, what should buyers, especially second-hand house buyers, pay attention to in the process of buying a house?

Although property delivery is the last link of buying a house, it plays a vital role in it. If this link is ignored, it will bring great trouble to consumers' future life. Therefore, consumers must be clear about the delivery procedures of the purchased property. Generally speaking, as long as the following four steps are followed in property delivery, it will bring great convenience to consumers:

The first step is to inform the seller to vacate the house before the delivery of the house;

The second step is to settle the water, electricity, gas, cable TV, heating and property fees of the purchased house, and the buyer and the seller should sign the property handover form for the record;

Step 3, get the house key from the seller;

Step 4: The buyer signs a new property heating contract with the property management company of the house.

This case also reminds sellers that they can't bring more trouble to themselves in order to covet small interests.
