2. What are the collection methods of residential property fees?

1, contract trunk system

(1) The contract responsibility system refers to the way that the owner pays a fixed property service fee to the property service enterprise, and the property service enterprise enjoys or bears the profit or loss.

(2) After the implementation of the contract system of property service charges, property service enterprises often adopt the way of reducing service expenditure, thus secretly improving corporate profits. In the specific charging, it is to reduce the service quality, reduce the number of service personnel, expand the scope of charging items, raise the charging standard or collect fees at random. This kind of charge is a common form of property management charge in China at present, and it is also one of the reasons that cause disputes over property service fees.

2. Salary system

(1) Contract gratuity system refers to the method of collecting contract gratuities from the property service funds received in advance, paying them to the property service enterprises according to the agreed proportion or amount, and using the rest for the expenses agreed in the property service contract, with the balance or deficiency being enjoyed or borne by the owners. Among them, the property service funds received in advance belong to the escrow nature and belong to the owners. All the parts other than the remuneration of the enterprise are transferred to the public maintenance fund, which is supervised and used by the owner.

(2) The fees paid by the charging system to the property service enterprises are relatively higher than those paid by the contract system, but it is a relatively fair and transparent method. The service provided to the owners can basically meet the quality and price, and the ever-changing charging ratio can stimulate the enthusiasm of property service enterprises, promote their continuous improvement of service level and quality, and be conducive to the improvement of the service quality of the whole community and the development of property service enterprises themselves.

(3) Sometimes, the owner may not have moved in, but at this time, the property is required to pay the property fee. According to the law of our country, the property actually provides property services at this time, and the owner cannot refuse to pay the property fee because he does not enjoy the service. But in some cities, in view of this situation, owners can pay less property fees, that is to say, in this case, not all property fees are paid.
