What should I do if I receive a lawyer's letter calling for property fees?

After receiving the lawyer's letter urging the payment of the property fee, it is suggested that the owner pay the property fee in time.

Of course, if the owner has sufficient reasons and legal basis to think that the work done by the property is not in place, he can collect relevant evidence to the court to claim his rights and interests. A property service contract is a contract in which the property service provider provides the owner with property services such as the maintenance of the building and its ancillary facilities, the management and maintenance of environmental sanitation and related order, and the owner pays the property fee.

After the termination of the realty service contract, the original realty service provider shall continue to handle the realty service matters before the new realty service provider selected by the owner or the owners' congress or the owner who decides to manage it by himself takes over, and may require the owner to pay the realty fee during this period.
