Is the property fee calculated from the turnkey or after check-in?

The property fee starts from the turnkey, even if the owner doesn't get the key, in this case, the property fee is also counted. Some owners will delay half a year or even a year to get the key. At this stage, the property fee is actually generated and needs to be paid on time.

The "Regulations on Property Management" promulgated by the state clearly stipulates that the property buyer shall pay the property service fee in full according to the agreement in the property service contract from the date when the property is completed and delivered for use. According to the regulations, from the date of delivery, the community owners should pay the property management fee according to the previous property service contract. Since the house has been delivered, regardless of whether the owner actually lives, the relevant property management fees should also be paid. Regardless of whether the owner actually lives, many property services of the property management company are provided, such as security and cleaning.

For the problem that long-term non-occupancy property fees can be halved or discounted, according to the current relevant laws and regulations, vacant houses should also pay property fees. At present, the law does not clearly stipulate how much should be paid, and the owner can negotiate with the property company. Generally speaking, the owner's repossession procedure is that the developer issues a notice of repossession. After receiving the notice, the owner will sign it if there is no objection. Unless otherwise agreed by both parties, the property management fee shall be calculated from the date of repossession.

The property management fees charged by the property management to the community mainly include the fees related to the surrounding management and services of the whole community, such as community order management, greening cultivation, public facilities maintenance, and public health cleaning. No matter whether the owners live in or not, the property management company manages the whole community and will not reduce management services because individuals do not live in.

Therefore, as long as the owner gets the key to the house, he must pay the property service fee on time as required. Owners and property management companies have relevant agreements in the property service contract, which can be handled in accordance with the agreement.

Under what circumstances can the owner not pay or pay less property fees?

1. If the house is not delivered, the property fee shall be paid by the developer.

Property fees are generally paid in advance for half a year or one year from the day of turnkey. If the quality problem is found to seriously affect the occupancy when the house is handed over, the developer will pay the property fee before the house is repaired and notified again. Remember that your words are groundless, and you must keep the evidence.

If the delivery of the house is delayed due to the owner's reasons, the starting time of the property fee shall be calculated from the delivery date agreed before, and the property fee during the extension period shall be paid together with the owner's receipt of the house.

2. The house is for rent, and the contract indicates that the property fee shall be paid by the tenant.

If the house has been rented, the property fee shall be borne by the owner unless otherwise agreed by both parties. If there is a clear agreement in the lease contract that the property fee shall be paid by the lessee during the lease period, and the contract is confirmed in writing by the property management company, the property fee shall be paid by the lessee and the owner shall bear joint liability.

3. Vacant houses can apply for property fee reduction.

After the acceptance of the owners, vacant houses that have not been renovated and do not have occupancy conditions or have not been used for a long time after occupancy may apply to the property for reduction or exemption of property fees. The specific relief range is determined by the owner and the property through consultation, which is generally 70% or 50% of the charging standard agreed in the contract. However, in order to avoid the emergence of fake vacant houses, the property will charge a one-time property fee for half a year and control water and electricity.

4. The property raises the charging standard and expands the charging range without authorization.

In violation of the contract or the relevant provisions, the people's court shall support the expansion of the scope of fees, the increase of fees or the repeated charges without authorization. If the owner requests the property to refund the illegal fees it has collected, the people's court shall support it. Therefore, if the property management company charges in violation of regulations, the owner can raise a defense and refuse to pay.

5. Property fees.

Generally speaking, the property company must pass the examination and approval of the local price bureau and issue a license for charging. If the owners think that the property charges are unreasonable, they can reflect to the property through the owners' committee and ask the property to show the charging permit. If the property cannot be produced, the owner has the right to refuse to pay and complain to the price bureau.

6, service quality is not up to standard, all owners can refuse to pay, but need strong evidence.

The service quality of the property can't meet the standard stipulated in the contract, which is the reason why many owners refuse to pay the property fee. There should be sufficient evidence for this, and record the places where the property is not in place with mobile phones and cameras. Then take the initiative to negotiate with the property and tell them that they are doing something wrong, and they should not charge or pay less property fees, and make a good record of the negotiation. Once the property sues for default on property fees, the owner can argue that it is not malicious default.
