Should the landlord pay the property fee?

Legal analysis: the property fee can be paid by one party according to the contract. If the lease contract stipulates which party will pay the property fee, the agreed party shall bear the obligation to pay the property fee; If there is no explicit agreement in the lease contract, it shall be paid by the lessee. If the tenant fails to pay the property fee on time, the landlord will bear joint liability. The people's court shall support the agreement between the owner and the lessee, borrower or other user that the user of the property should pay the property fee.

Legal basis: Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Property Service Disputes Article 7 If the owner and the lessee, borrower or other property user of the property agree that the property user will pay the property fee, and the property service enterprise requests the owner to bear joint and several liabilities, the people's court shall support it.
