The property was forced to keep the owners out.

It is indeed illegal for the property to do so, because the owner is the owner of the house, and the property should not set up obstacles to prevent the owner from going home. The owner's failure to pay the property fee does not violate the relevant laws and regulations, but it violates the contract. The two sides need to negotiate together, and there is no need to solve the problem in such an extreme way.

In the eyes of the owners, the property is only a management party of this community, which can help them better adapt to the life of the community, such as safeguarding the safety of the owners, or cleaning up the garbage in the community, so that the owners can have a comfortable living environment. But sometimes the property takes its position too high, thinking that it can control the owner, and the owner must listen to his own orders. This is a bit of putting the cart before the horse. It is likely that all owners will unite and then oppose some decisions of the property. You can't have no owners in a community, unless some owners are willing to control themselves, but everyone has jobs, so it's impossible to quit their jobs and serve the owners of the community, so the owners become property, instead of achieving their original goals, they become the people they hate the most. Therefore, the property and the owners should live in harmony and jointly build a beautiful community, so that everyone can live well.

In this case, the owner can send representatives to negotiate with the property to see whether to cancel the access card or reduce the property fee, and then all the owners will pay it. Both sides need to take a step back and not have violent conflicts together, because the interests are the same, the property wants to make money, and the owners want to live a comfortable life. Security guards should also be set up at the entrance of the property. If some owners forget to bring their access cards, they can ask the security guard to open the door. We must enforce the rules and regulations so strictly, because this is just a community, not a company.

Neither the property nor the owner can solve the problem through confrontation, and the cost of safeguarding rights is high and it takes a long time. It's better to negotiate.
