Which department should I look for if there is a dispute with the residential property?

Legal analysis: if there is a dispute between the owner and the property, you can negotiate with the property to solve the problem first. Secondly, you can also ask the administrative department of the government to mediate. The parties may also apply to the local arbitration institution for arbitration. Finally, if the problem has not been solved, the parties can bring a lawsuit to the people's court to resolve the dispute. To sum up, property disputes can be handled by government administrative departments, property management departments or arbitration institutions and people's courts.

Legal basis: "Regulations on Property Management" Article 48 The real estate administrative departments of local people's governments at or above the county level shall promptly handle the complaints of owners, owners' committees, property users and property service enterprises in property management activities.
