Feng, deputy director of the Property Management Department, said that according to the provisions in the Notice on Further Strengthening the Management of Property Services in Our City and Standardizing Property Service Charges, the owners or users of vacant properties that have not been used for a long time (for more than six months in a row) after the owner has gone through the check-in formalities should file a written record with the property service enterprise and pay the property service fee at a rate not lower than 80% of the stipulated or agreed property service fee standard. In the relevant documents, the expression of meeting the preferential conditions of vacant houses is not clearly based on the premise of water supply and power failure.

Under normal circumstances, vacant houses recognized by both the property and the owner should not be occupied by the owner for a long time, and there is no water and electricity consumption caused by the owner's occupancy or other daily use.

He said that whether there is water and electricity consumption is a basis for the property to check whether the house is inhabited, but it is not a complete basis or a hard indicator to confirm whether the house is vacant. If the owner has not renovated or stayed for a long time after receiving the house, he can pay the property fee of the vacant house according to the regulations, but the prerequisite is to inform the residential property in advance, apply for and go through the relevant procedures, and can't wait until the property comes to the door to urge the payment of the property fee before telling the "house is unoccupied".
