After buying a house, the original owner ran away without paying the property fee. What should I do?

But first of all, you should make it clear that since the seller can do such a despicable thing, it shows that the seller is shameless to a certain extent, so don't take into account his face when you chase his family for debts in front of fellow villagers.

You are less likely to ask the intermediary company to compensate you for your losses. Because the general housing intermediary companies are mainly responsible for matching legitimate buyers and sellers of houses. The immoral behavior of the seller you mentioned is generally beyond the responsibility of the intermediary company.

Now I suggest you read the contract between you and the seller and the intermediary company carefully to see if the contract has explained the relevant responsibilities. If the contract states that the intermediary company is responsible, you are lucky. If the intermediary company is not responsible, then you can contact the intermediary company and ask them to solve this matter, or seek the help of the intermediary company.

If the intermediary company doesn't provide help, then you have three choices, 1: just spend money to buy the lesson and don't pursue it. 2. Go to the door to collect debts. 3. Protect your rights and interests by legal means.
