Do I have to pay the property fee? What if the property fee is too high?

The houses bought now are residential houses, which are managed by property personnel. Owners need to pay a certain property fee after taking over the house, and property personnel will maintain and manage the public facilities and environment of the community. However, many owners will complain that the property fee is too high when paying the property fee, or they don't want to pay the property fee at all, so do they have to pay the property fee? What should I do if the residential property fee is too high?

Do I have to pay the property fee?

The owner who buys a new house is usually a preliminary property service contract signed by the developer and the property service company, but it is binding on the owner, that is to say, the owner enjoys the service provided by the property company and should pay the property fee accordingly. However, it should be noted that property management companies should clearly mark the price in accordance with these regulations when providing services to owners, indicating the service items, charging standards and other related information.

Not every residential property service is the same, so different charging standards are different. Part of the service charges are determined by the property management company through consultation with the owners or users. However, some services should be charged according to the regulations of relevant government departments. Specifically, some projects are one-time charges; Some items are collected regularly, and some items are collected in a flexible way.

What should I do if the residential property fee is too high?

At present, many residential property fees are very high, and even some residential property fees are particularly unreasonable. In this case, the owner can reflect the rights protection to the housing management office.

1, reduce the property fee.

If the property buyers think that the property fees are too high, they can contact other owners to set up an owners' committee, and ask the property company to show its charging license and charging details in the name of the committee. If the property company refuses to show it, the owner has the right not to pay the property fee and report the complaint to the price bureau, because it is illegal for the property company to collect the property fee unreasonably. As long as you can produce evidence and pass the resolution of the owners' meeting, the property fee can be reduced or exempted.

2, improve the level of property services.

In view of the high property fees, property companies can also be required to raise their income levels. As a representative, the owners' committee will negotiate with the property company and ask it to improve its service level. The low service level includes: the gate security personnel are irresponsible, the property telephone is vacant, the sanitation of the community is dirty, the fire escape is blocked, the basic public facilities are damaged for a long time, and the staff are lazy or have a bad attitude.

3. Change the property management company

Changing the property management company is a last resort. According to the relevant laws and regulations, when the community develops for a period of time and is fully mature, it can publicly express its doubts about the property management company through the owners' committee. If there are really unreasonable fees, then the Committee has the right to invite public tenders for the society and re-select a new property management company, in which the collection of property fees will be re-determined by the representatives of the new property management company and the owners' Committee.
