For example, the annual fee for sexual intercourse can be waived for one month. The owner is not clear about the purpose of these expenses. What are the property fees introduced in the following small series? Under what circumstances can I refuse to pay the property fee?

What does the property fee include?

1, management fee

The first is the management fee, which refers to the daily maintenance fee of the staff of the property management company for the public facilities in the residential area, as well as some management service fees such as patrol, inspection, property maintenance and update fees and property files.

2, cleaning, greening maintenance fee

The environment of the residential area needs to be maintained and kept clean at any time, so the roads need to be cleaned and the greening needs to be trimmed, which will involve some expenses, including tools, staff supplies, garbage transportation and feces cleaning. Greening maintenance fees include: greening tool fees, water fees, pesticide and fertilizer fees, weed cleaning fees and landscape maintenance fees.

3. Personnel salary

Part of the property management fee is also used to pay the wages of the property staff and the expenses incurred in the work, such as transportation fees, communication fees, work supplies, etc. In some property companies with complete welfare benefits, their employees' salaries include: personnel expenses, basic salary, social insurance, welfare withdrawal, overtime and clothing expenses.

Under what circumstances can I refuse to pay the property fee?

1. No property service contract was signed.

Contract documents play a very important role in all walks of life. If there is no relevant service contract between the community owner and the property management company, it means that the owner has not hired the property management company to serve the owner, so the property management fee should not be paid. However, if the property company has signed a property service contract with the industry Committee, but not with individual owners, then the owners can't refuse to pay the property fee!

2. Increase fees without authorization

Everything should be carried out in accordance with the contract, which is an obligation that everyone should abide by. Now that the contract description has been signed, the terms in the contract have been agreed. Property management companies are not allowed to expand the scope of fees, raise fees or repeat fees. If the owner raises a defense on the grounds of illegal charges, the people's court shall support it. If the owner requests the property to refund the illegal fees it has collected, the people's court shall support it. Therefore, if the property management company charges in violation of regulations, the owner can raise a defense and refuse to pay.

3. No house.

Property fees should be calculated and collected from the time when the house is closed. There may be some differences in closing time. However, if the owner has not officially closed the house, the property company cannot be included in the collection of property fees. Everyone should pay special attention to this. If the property requires payment, it can be refused. However, if the buyer does not move in after buying a house, then in this case, the property fee should be paid normally.

4. Poor property services

The property company is hired by the owner to serve the life of the community. Therefore, if their service attitude at work is not good and their work efficiency affects their normal life, the owner can refuse to pay the fee, but he must have sufficient evidence and then take the initiative to negotiate with the property, telling them what they have done wrong, and should not charge the property fee or undercharge the property fee, and make a record of the negotiation. If the property sues for defaulting on the property fee, the owner can argue that it is not a malicious default.
