If the strata fee is unreasonable, the following measures can be taken:
1.Understand the structure and charging standard of the strata fee: First of all, it is necessary to understand the detailed composition and basis of the strata fee. Usually, the property management company will provide a property service contract, which includes terms and conditions such as service content, fee schedule, etc. Read this contract carefully to make sure you have an accurate understanding of the strata fee.
2.Gather evidence: If you find a problem with the strata fee, you need to gather relevant evidence. This may include comparing property fees to other similar communities, finding relevant laws and regulations, and documenting the quality of service provided by the utility company.
3.Communicate with the property management company: After you have some evidence, you can try to communicate with the property management company. Explain your own point of view and reasoning, and ask the other party to explain why the cost is too high or unreasonable. At the same time, you can also put forward your own suggestions to see if you can reach an agreement through consultation.
4.Seek third-party mediation: If communication with the property management company fails, consider seeking help from a third party, such as an owners' committee, a community neighborhood committee, or a relevant department (such as the housing and urban-rural development department). They may intervene in the investigation and assist in resolving the issue.
5.Litigation or arbitration: If none of the above methods can solve the problem, you can choose to file a lawsuit in court or apply for arbitration. At this stage, it is best to consult a professional lawyer to ensure that your rights and interests are protected to the greatest extent.
6.Pay attention to protecting your legitimate rights and interests in the process of rights protection: In the whole process of rights protection, you should pay attention to protecting your legitimate rights and interests and avoid legal responsibility due to excessive behavior. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether the property management company has complied with relevant laws and regulations, so as to better protect its rights and interests.
