Do I have to pay the property fee if I don't live in the building?

Legal analysis: property fees are required. Because the property service is to provide public services for the whole community, it will not reduce the workload because individual houses are vacant. In other words, property services not only serve the owners, but also serve the houses in the community. Since the owner's house is still in the community, he should be responsible for it. Therefore, according to the logic of property, if the house is unoccupied, the property fee must be paid unless the owner can move the house.

Legal basis: Article 67 of the Property Management Regulations violates the stipulations of the property service contract, and if the owner fails to pay the property service fee within the time limit, the owners' committee shall urge him to pay it within a time limit, and the property service enterprise may bring a lawsuit to the people's court.

Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Property Service Disputes Article 6 If the owner refuses to pay the property fee without justifiable reasons or fails to pay the property fee within a reasonable time limit, the people's court shall support it.
