How many years can the property fee be owed at most?

Property fees cannot be owed for more than three years at most.

If the owner's property fee is in arrears for a long time, the property company can urge the owner to pay it within a reasonable period of time. If the owner fails to pay the property fee after a reasonable period of time, the property company may apply for arbitration or bring a lawsuit to the court to require the owner to pay the property fee.

If the owner still refuses to pay the property fee, the property company may apply to the court for enforcement. If the payment cannot be made after enforcement, the property company can apply to the court to list the owner as a faithless person, which is also commonly known as "Lao Lai".
