If individual owners take public areas as their own, what should they do with the property?

Article 83 of the Property Law stipulates that the owners' assembly and the owners' committee have the right to require the actor to stop the infringement, remove the danger, remove the obstruction and compensate for the losses in accordance with laws, regulations and management regulations for acts that damage the legitimate rights and interests of others, such as dumping garbage at will, discharging pollutants or noise, raising animals illegally, building structures illegally, occupying passages illegally and refusing to pay property fees.

Public green space belongs to all owners, and no owner may occupy it. If individual owners encroach on public green space, the owners' committee of the community may require them to stop the infringement and compensate for the losses. If individual owners refuse the request of the owners' committee, the owners' committee may bring a lawsuit to the people's court to safeguard the legitimate rights of other owners.

Other owners refuse to pay property fees on this ground, which is a violation of the property service contract. The occupation of public green space by individual owners cannot be a defense for other owners to refuse to pay property fees. Property companies can send reminders to these owners, and if they don't pay them, they can sue the owners who are in arrears.
