Is it illegal for the owner to sign the responsibility letter?

According to the first paragraph of Article 338 of the Property Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the property management contract, property service contract and other contracts signed by the owner and the property manager shall be legal and valid according to law. Owners are required to sign a letter of responsibility, generally in order to clarify the rights and obligations of owners and maintain public order and safety in the community. As the specific circumstances of each community are different, whether it is illegal for the owner to sign the responsibility letter depends on the specific content and signing method of the contract.

Generally speaking, it is legal for owners to sign letters of responsibility. However, if the terms in the contract violate the provisions of laws and regulations, or there are obvious irrationalities, you can complain or ask for help from the property or relevant law enforcement departments. You can first understand the relevant laws and regulations, and then analyze the specific content of the responsibility book. If you find that there may be illegal acts, you can consult a lawyer or relevant departments and get professional legal advice and help.

In short, if you have any questions about the legality of asking the owner to sign the responsibility letter, I suggest you consult the relevant legal professionals or relevant departments in order to get accurate answers and help.
