Do you have to pay property fees for houses that have been vacant for more than 6 months?

Houses that have been vacant for more than 6 months also have to pay property fees. Although the owners of vacant houses have not moved in, the residential property has provided health services and security services, and the owners cannot refuse to pay property fees on the grounds that the houses are vacant. In addition, according to the General Principles of the Civil Law, if the property service provider has provided services in accordance with the agreement and relevant regulations, the owner shall not refuse to pay the property fee on the grounds that he has not accepted or does not need to accept the relevant property services.

In addition, according to the provisions of the Civil Code Law, if the owner refuses to pay the property fee in violation of relevant regulations, the property may bring a lawsuit or arbitrate, but the property fee may not be paid by means of power failure or water stoppage. If the owners are not satisfied with the residential property, they can set up their own owners' committee, which is decided by all the owners. As long as two-thirds of the owners vote and the voting result is more than half, the owners can request to change the service property company.

Calculation time of property fee

The property fee is calculated from the date when the owner of the house accepts the delivery after receiving the occupancy notice with the delivery date. If he does not pay the house, it is equivalent to giving up his rights and interests, then he will also accept the house by default, and then the property fee will be paid by the parties. If there are quality problems in delivery that affect occupancy, there will be a quality problem registration form, which will be issued by the developer before delivery and maintenance. Remember to keep the evidence or say it is unfounded. After passing the re-acceptance, the property fee shall be paid by the parties concerned.
