Legal basis for halving property fees

According to the law, the property fee is the fee charged by property owners and users who entrust the property management unit to carry out daily maintenance, repair and transformation of houses, buildings and their equipment, public facilities, greening, sanitation, transportation, public security, environment and other services related to residents' lives in residential areas. Owners who enjoy property management services should pay the property fee in accordance with the agreement.
