Does the old owner owe the new owner a property fee?

Legal analysis: the property fee owed by the original owner is generally borne by the original owner, but if there is an agreement between the two parties, it shall be in accordance with the agreement. The problem of arrears left over from house transfer should have nothing to do with property buyers. Because the contract is relative, the contract is a problem between the two and cannot involve a third party. Since the service contract between the original owner and the property management company does not involve subsequent buyers, the new owner has no obligation to pay property fees.

Legal basis: Article 944 of General Principles of Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the owner shall pay the property fee to the property service provider as agreed. If the property service provider has provided services in accordance with the agreement and relevant regulations, the owner shall not refuse to pay the property fee on the grounds that he has not accepted or does not need to accept the relevant property services. If the owner fails to pay the property fee within the time limit in violation of the agreement, the property service provider may urge him to pay it within a reasonable period of time; If the payment is not made within a reasonable period, the property service provider may bring a lawsuit or apply for arbitration. The property service provider shall not stop power supply, water supply, heat supply and gas supply to demand payment of property fees.
