1. Who should pay the property fee owed by the former landlord?

See whether the two sides paid the property fee and water and electricity fee when signing the house sales contract. If there is no relevant agreement in the sales contract, it shall be borne by the original owner. Even if the current owner bears the property fee owed by the original owner before the delivery of the house, he still has the right to recover from the original owner. Before the house is delivered, the actual user of the house is the original owner, so it is also the actual beneficiary of the property service. According to the basic principle of public order and good customs in civil law, the property fee before the house is delivered shall be borne by the original owner. In the practice of buying and selling houses, buyers and sellers usually go to the property department to check the payment of property fees and issue a written confirmation letter to prevent disputes in the future. If the handover work is not done well and there is a dispute, if the current landlord pays the unpaid property fee before handing over the house, he still has the right to recover from the original landlord.
