Do I have to pay the property fee if I don't accept the house after handing it over?

Need to be combined with reality. If the house delivered by the developer is not closed because of quality problems, there is no need to pay property fees. In this process, the property fee is still borne by the developer. If it is only because the owner fails to close the house in time, in this case, the property fee will be paid, because when the house has not been closed after the closing period, the owner will default to close the house and start calculating the property fee.

Under what circumstances can I not pay the property fee?

1. The property management company shall not stop using water, electricity or gas, or cut off water, electricity or gas in order to urge one party to fulfill its contractual obligations. If the property management company does not open water and electricity for the house, it can wait until the water and electricity are actually opened before paying the property fee.

2. Property companies can ignore potential safety hazards and reduce property fees. Some owners illegally add or rebuild buildings, which poses certain hidden dangers to building safety. If the property management company fails to fulfill its management obligations or deal with illegal construction according to law, it fails to take appropriate, reasonable and legal measures to deal with it. Owners whose daily life is thus affected and their safety and security are greatly hindered may reduce or exempt their property fees.

3. If the property company collects unfounded charges such as decoration coordination fees, there is no basis for the property company to collect decoration coordination fees, and the owner can refuse. What has been collected should be returned.

4. The property fee shall be collected from the date when the owner receives the notice of repossession, not from the delivery date specified in the purchase contract. If the developer fails to notify the owner to repossess the building, so the repossession is delayed, the owner may refuse to pay the property fee during this period.

5. If the energy cost generated by power equipment such as heating and central air conditioning required by the property management company is not within the scope of payment by the owner, it may refuse to pay;

6. The property provides services that are not stipulated in the contract or agreed by the owner, and the owner has the right to refuse delivery.

7. If the property company raises the charging standard of property services without authorization, the owner may refuse to pay the part that is raised without authorization.

8. If the property fee standard does not conform to the property service charging method formulated by the relevant departments, the owner may refuse to pay.
