New regulations on property fees in 2023

Some places in China have promulgated new property management regulations, further standardized the property charging standards and cancelled some unreasonable charges. The new regulations clearly stipulate that water and electricity heating units, property companies and owners shall bear the maintenance costs and responsibilities themselves. Natural gas exploitation fee is a special property fee, which does not need to be paid. Cancel the energy consumption fee, public amortization electricity fee, wall-breaking fee and garbage cleaning freight charged by the property company. The increase in the cost of the property itself can be waived. Generally speaking, in order to pursue profits, some properties may add some false fees for the owners to pay in order to collect more fees. You know, such fees are illegal, and you can refuse the property. If the delivery is delayed, the property fee will not be paid within the delivery date agreed in the contract and the actual delivery date. The owner of the real house said that when buying a new house, the buyer and the developer signed a contract for the sale of commercial housing, but this does not mean that the house has been sold.
