Do I need to pay the property fee if the property contract is not renewed when it expires?

Legal analysis: whether the property contract is renewed depends on how the property service contract stipulates that the owner cannot refuse to pay the property fee without reason. The parties shall follow the principle of fairness to determine the rights and obligations of all parties. After the expiration of the property service contract, if the property management company continues to manage the property without renewing the contract with the owners' committee, it shall be handled on the principle of fairness. The so-called fairness principle means that in the process of concluding and performing a contract, the interests of the parties to the contract should be adjusted with the concept of fairness, so that the interests of both parties to the contract can be balanced, so as to achieve a fair and reasonable goal. Although the residential property service contract has not been renewed, the property company still manages and provides services to the owners. If the owner does not pay the property service fee on the grounds that the contract has not been renewed, it means that the property company has provided the service but has not received the corresponding remuneration, and the final result is the imbalance of rights and obligations of both parties to the contract, which violates the principle of fairness stipulated in the contract law.

Legal basis: Article 8 of the Property Management Regulations stipulates that all owners in the property management area shall form the owners' meeting. The owners' congress represents and safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of all owners in the property management activities within the property management area.
