The new building is divided into three phases, and only one phase is completed. Is it reasonable to charge full property fees?

In fact, there is no legal basis for collecting property fees in advance.

Many owners who have already bought a house will encounter such a situation. Property companies will require owners to pay property fees in advance for a period of time when inspecting houses. In fact, this practice is unfounded. According to the regulations, property management companies shall not charge fees in advance against the wishes of the owners or users who are not owners; If it can be received in advance after approval, the period of advance receipt shall not exceed 6 months. In this regard, if the property company cannot produce the approval documents of the government administrative department, it can refuse to pay.

The legal basis for prepaying the property fee for one year is the property service contract signed based on the provisions of the Civil Code, that is, if your community has not signed a property service contract with the owner, you can ask the property company to show the previous property service contract signed with the developer and find a clear agreement from the contract.
