Does renting a house include property fees?

First of all, it depends on whether the renter and the owner have made it clear who will pay the property management fee. If not, it will be paid by the property lessee.

According to Article 7 of the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Property Service Disputes, if the owner and the lessee, borrower or other property user of the property agree that the property user will pay the property fee, and the property service enterprise requests the owner to bear joint liability, the people's court shall support it.

To sum up, if the lease contract does not stipulate who will pay the management fee, the lessee will pay the property management fee. If the lessee fails to pay the property management fee on time, the owner shall bear joint liability.
