In What Conditions Should Property Fees Be Paid Or Not Paid?

    Whether you should pay the property fee depends on, you have accepted the house or not. If you have not accepted yet, you should not pay the property fee. In condition, you accepted the house but have not moved in yet, you still have to pay the property fee. Many owners of vacant houses think that they don’t need to pay property fees if the house has not been occupied. In fact, the house is unoccupied, which is not an excuse for the owner to refuse to pay the property fee. As long as you accepted the house, you have to pay property fee. The following are some of the conditions that you should or should not pay the property fee.

I. Property fees must be paid.

1. The tenant has not moved in yet. Why does he still pay the property fee?

    Since the property company provides property services to the owners in accordance with the "Property Service Contract", and also provides public property services, such as the maintenance of buildings and their ancillary facilities, environmental sanitation and related order management and maintenance services. Therefore, even if the owner’s house is not stayed in, he still enjoys the property services and should pay the corresponding property fees. However, you can assist the owners in applying for a vacant property charge reduction; the reduction ranges from 50% to 90%. Therefore, whether you move in or not, the property takes care of your home to some extent and the house still receives the property's services, so you must pay the property fee. So, it has nothing related to the payment of property fees, although it might have anything to do with the quantity of money you pay.

2. Have not accepted house yet

    If the owner’s house is still under construction, and you have not accepted the house yet, you can refuse to pay the property fee. The property fee is billed from the time the buyer officially accepts the house. If the buyer has not yet received the house, but the property company has to charge in advance, then the owner can refuse to pay. However, if the buyer did not move in after buying the house, then the property fee must be paid normally in this case.

II. Property fees must not be paid

1. Property fees are being collected illegally

    If the property fees are in violation of regulations, the owner can also refuse to pay. Nowadays, the chaos of illegal collection of property fees by property companies is not uncommon. In fact, in this case, the owner can refuse to pay the property fee that exceeds the standard, and the property company will never sue you, because they are also at a loss.

2. Poor property service

Some owners feel that the services provided by the property company are very simple and do not want to pay property fees. However, there must be evidence to prove that the property service is too poor before the property fee can be refused. Generally, the owner cannot refuse to pay the property fee due to poor property services, but if the owner has sufficient evidence to prove that the property service is too poor, then this can be used as evidence to refuse to pay the property fee.
