Can the owners' committee sue the owners for not paying the property fee?

The owners' committee has no right to sue owners who fail to pay property fees. Property fee exists in the property service contract, and the main body of the property service contract is the property company and the owner. The property management company can make a decision to sue the owner and demand him to pay the property fee without fulfilling the dunning procedure through negotiation, and bear the late payment fee and liquidated damages for the property fee.
