How often do you pay the property fee?

China's laws clearly stipulate that property management companies charge property management fees. Without the consent of the owner, the property management company cannot collect the property fee for more than six months at a time, nor can it require the owner to pay the deposit for more than one year. So now most communities pay property fees on a monthly basis, as do utilities.

Legal basis: Article 41 of the Regulations on Property Management, the owner shall pay the property service fee according to the agreement in the property service contract. If the owner and the user of the property agree that the user of the property shall pay the property service fee, the owner shall bear joint and several liability from the agreement. Property that has been completed but has not been sold or handed over to the property buyer shall be paid by the construction unit.
