When handing over the house, the property company asked to sign a property contract. Can I not sign it?

When the house is handed over, the property company requires to sign a property contract, and it is not necessary to sign it.

The contract is signed by both parties. If one party thinks that there are terms that are not recognized, it can refuse to sign, or sign after modification. In practice, the owners' choice of property companies is not arbitrary. Generally, the owners' committee determines the property company on behalf of the owners, so it is normal that some owners may not recognize the terms of service. The owners' committee shall conclude a written realty service contract with the realty service enterprise selected by the owners' congress. Property service contracts shall stipulate property management matters, service quality, service fees, rights and obligations of both parties, management and use of special maintenance funds, property management premises, contract term, liability for breach of contract, etc.

Property companies do not need to sign property contracts with owners. If it is a house, usually the property company will not sign a property contract with a specific owner. Because the services provided by property management companies are mainly public areas and public facilities, no owner can be fully responsible for the clients. Therefore, only developers and industry committees can sign property contracts with property companies. Developers and industry committees represent all owners in the contract. Therefore, although there is no contract with specific owners, the property company must also perform the contract and assume management responsibilities; Similarly, owners must also abide by the obligation to pay property fees.

For the project under development and construction, the developer should sign a formal "Pre-Property Management Contract" with the property company. If there is only one or several big owners, the owners should directly sign a formal project named "Property Service Contract" with the property company. If there are multiple owners, the owners' meeting shall make a resolution, and the owners' committee shall sign a property service contract with the property company.

"Regulations on Property Management" Article 35 A property service enterprise shall provide corresponding services in accordance with the provisions of the property service contract.

The realty service enterprise fails to perform the realty service contract, causing personal and property safety damage to the owner, and shall bear corresponding legal responsibilities according to law.
