Do I have to pay a property fee if I buy a house and no one lives in it?

Whether or not to pay the property fee for a newly purchased house is handled in two cases:

1. If the house is not delivered to the owner, the owner does not need to pay the property fee, and the property fee is paid in full by the development and construction unit;

2. If the house has been delivered to the owner and the owner has not moved in, the owner still has to pay the property management fee.

What is the standard of property management fee?

1. Property management fee income of a property management company is directly related to its charging standard and business volume. Generally speaking, the higher the charging standard of property management fees, the higher the income of property management companies. However, on the one hand, the collection standard of property management fees should be restricted by relevant national policies and regulations, and arbitrary charges should not be charged.

2, does not violate the relevant provisions of the state and local governments.

3, should be determined according to the user's income level, the charging standard is too high for users to bear, and it is not easy to get the support of users. On the other hand, if the charging standard is too low, the property management company will lose money in service, which violates the market rules.

4, high quality and good price, taking into account the interests of all parties. The higher the level of service provided, the higher the charging standard. The charging standard for special services is generally higher than that for public services, while that for commercial departments is generally higher than that for government agencies and institutions.

5. The income from property management services is slightly surplus after deducting expenses. Otherwise, the more services, the greater the workload and the greater the loss.

6. The charging standards of different services provided by property management companies to owners are different. Some charging standards are determined by property management companies and owners through consultation, and some charging standards should be implemented in accordance with the provisions of relevant government departments. In the specific collection of property management fees, some projects are one-time collection, and some projects are regularly collected.

To sum up, the owner of the house that is unoccupied and not delivered does not need to pay the property fee. If the house is not delivered, resulting in no one living, the property fee shall be charged to the construction unit; If the house has been delivered to the owner and no one lives, the owner needs to pay the property fee.
