Can I not pay the property fee if I don't live in the community?

Legal analysis: No, if the property service enterprise provides property services to the owner according to the contract, the owner can't refuse to pay the property fee on the grounds of not living.

Legal basis: Article 40 of the Regulations on Property Management should follow the principles of reasonableness, openness, and adaptation of fees and service levels, and distinguish the nature and characteristics of different properties. Owners and property service enterprises shall, according to the measures for charging property services formulated by the competent price department of the State Council in conjunction with the competent construction administrative department of the State Council, stipulate in the property service contract.
