Do I have to pay the property fee if the house is unoccupied?

According to the property management regulations, from the time the property is delivered to the owner, the owner has to pay the property fee and other expenses. No matter whether the owner can't live, as long as you accept the house, you must fulfill your obligation to pay the property fee while enjoying your rights. But now many provinces and cities have a policy, which is to reduce the income of properties that are not renovated and used immediately after receiving them. For example, Gansu Province stipulates that newly occupied properties can enjoy a 50% property fee discount if they are not renovated after receiving, which is a regional policy. But no matter whether the charging standard is 100% or half price, the owner should pay the property management fee for his house. If the house is unoccupied, you have to pay the property fee. After the owner took over the house, he actually obtained the right to use the house. Although the owner did not actually use the house, the environment and public security of the property and community have always been under the management of the owner, and the owner also enjoys the cleaning and security services provided by the property company.

The time when the owner starts to pay the property fee is stipulated in the property service contract signed between the owner and the property company, and the owner shall pay the property fee according to the agreement in the property service contract.

The Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Property Service Disputes stipulates that if the owner refuses to pay the property fee without justifiable reasons or fails to pay the property fee within a reasonable period after being urged in writing, the people's court shall support the property service enterprise to request the owner to pay the property fee. Property service enterprises have provided services in accordance with the contract and relevant regulations, and the people's court will not support the owners' defense on the grounds that they do not enjoy or need to accept relevant property services.
