Is it legal to bind property fees and access cards?

Legal analysis: some property communities implement the way of binding property fees with access cards. If residents don't pay the property fee in time, they can't enter the community. In this way, residents are required to pay property fees on schedule, and even if the services of property companies are not in place, residents cannot exercise their supervision rights. In this regard, the relevant person of the Real Estate Bureau said that according to the People's Republic of China (PRC) Property Law, the Property Management Regulations and other relevant laws and regulations, the renovation and reconstruction of buildings and their ancillary facilities in the property management area are matters decided by the owners, and should be approved by the owners whose exclusive parts account for more than two-thirds of the total construction area and more than two-thirds of the total number.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
