Generally speaking, there will be a late fee for defaulting on property fees, depending on whether there is an agreement in the property service contract signed by the property company and the owner. If there is an agreement, you have to pay a late fee. If there is no agreement, there will be no such thing. If it is necessary to pay liquidated damages for losses, there is no agreement to determine the amount of compensation according to the standard.
