New rules on property fees: Interpretation of the property fee payment policy for vacant homeowners
By 2024, according to the new provisions of the Civil Code, everyone will no longer have to worry about property taxes. The new regulations require that properties publish the details of their management fees to them, so that they have a clear understanding of the specifics and reasonableness of the property tax they pay, and at the same time effectively supervise their work and promote them to improve the quality of their services. In addition, the Civil Code also clearly defines the payment of vacancy fees, because the house is in a residential area, so the homeowner still has to pay the property tax according to the relevant standards.
At present, there is a large controversy in China's residential communities, the most prominent of which is the management fee of the community and the property management in the community. The root cause is the poor quality of property companies and the indiscriminate charging of property owners. If the problem of property charges is not well solved, the service level will be reduced, thus creating a virtuous circle. The implementation of the new rules will be a mechanism to solve this problem. By publishing the details of property fees, owners can have a clearer understanding of the specific situation of property fees, so as to effectively supervise property management work, thereby promoting the development of property management enterprises.
At issue is how to pay property tax on vacant houses. Some homeowners feel that their homes are empty and not being served as they should, so they should not pay the full amount of property taxes. However, this perception is not correct. No matter how many residents a community has, the operating costs are the same, the difference is only in some details. Leaving uninhabited is not only an indulgence in speculation by developers, but also an injustice to everyone else in the community. Therefore, according to the Civil Code, even if the house is vacant, the corresponding property tax must be paid in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.
From the property company's point of view, it is their responsibility to serve the owners wholeheartedly. Under this premise, most owners are still willing to pay property management fees. For those owners who refuse to pay the management fee, they can also protect their rights through judicial means. However, while implementing it, it is also necessary to prevent the use of illegal methods to force rent payments.
In short, owners should realize that the property management fee is not just a charge, but also an affirmation of the human resources they have invested. The owner should pay in time to prevent late delivery, and has the right to propose to the property management company to improve and enhance the quality of service. When residents in the community are not satisfied with the management of the community, they can complain through legal means, or they can ask the property management company to replace them through legal means. On this basis, responsible and responsible residents can carry out community governance through their own behavior, discuss major issues in the community, and formulate corresponding rules and regulations, so as to ensure the good operation of the community and the harmony and stability of the society.
When paying property fees and determining property service enterprises, it is necessary to adhere to the principles of fairness, fairness and reasonableness. Only in this way can we create a safe, comfortable and harmonious living environment.
In short, after the introduction of the Civil Code, owners no longer have to worry about property taxes. The "Regulations" put forward that the expenditure of management fees should be announced to the public, which strengthened the supervision of management fees and promoted property enterprises to improve the quality of services. At the same time, the new regulations also put forward new requirements for the management of housing, that is, the management of housing must also be paid in accordance with the relevant laws. Both sides need to respect each other in order to create a good living environment for the community.
