House decoration, no one lives, do you have to pay property fees?

Property fee is the service fee agreed between the owner and the property service enterprise, which is mainly used for the maintenance and management of public facilities, environmental sanitation and safety. These services are continuous and will not change because the owner is alive or not. Therefore, even if the house is renovated and no one lives, the owner still needs to pay the property fee as agreed.

The owner shall pay the property fee in the time and manner agreed in the contract, and overdue payment may result in additional expenses such as late payment fees.

Third, the handling of property fees under special circumstances.

Although under normal circumstances, the house is decorated and no one lives, there are some special circumstances. For example, the owner and the property service enterprise can suspend some services and reduce property fees accordingly; Or in some areas, the house has been uninhabited for a long time, and the owner can apply to the property service enterprise for partial reduction or exemption of property fees. The way to deal with these special circumstances requires specific consultation between the owners and the property service enterprises.
