What if the property fee exceeds the standard?

The methods for exceeding the standard of property fees are as follows:

1. Establish or negotiate with the industry committee. If the owners question that the property fee is too high, they can set up an owners' committee, and the owners' committee will ask the property to show the fee permit on behalf of the owners. If the property cannot be provided, the owner has the right to raise the property fee without paying the property fee, which is illegal and can complain to the price bureau. If the owners can prove that the property fee is too high, the owners' committee may convene a meeting of owners and make a resolution to reduce the property fee. If the owners' committee has not been established in the residential area, it must be agreed by the owners who account for more than half of the total construction area and more than half of the total number of residents, and within the published guidance price range, the property company and the owners will renegotiate the matter of reducing or exempting property fees;

2. Find the housing management department to solve the problem. At present, most of the property fees are market-adjusted prices, and the relevant departments have not given clear charging standards. Generally speaking, the property fee should be determined according to the area, number of floors and service level of the community. If the owners feel that the collection of property fees is unreasonable, they can reflect the situation to the housing management department and safeguard their rights;

3. Negotiating to improve property services Many owners think that property fees are too high, mainly because the level of property services is too poor, such as weak sense of responsibility for security, dirty environment in the community, and potential safety hazards. In this case, the industry Committee can come forward to negotiate with the property company to improve the level of property services;

4. Although the pre-property of the new property community is designated by the developer, the relevant national policies stipulate that the owners' committee can be established once the community is mature. If the industry committee has doubts about the residential property service and thinks that the fees are unreasonable, it can conduct bidding and re-select a new property company through public bidding or agreement bidding.
