Whether it is reasonable to pay the property management fee in advance when receiving the house involves the nature and function of the property management fee, as well as the rights and obligations between the owner and the property management company.
First, let's understand the nature and function of property management fees. The property management fee is the fee paid by the owner to the property management company in accordance with the contract, which is mainly used for the maintenance and management of the property.
Specifically, the property management fee includes the maintenance, cleaning, greening, and order maintenance of the public parts of the property, public facilities and equipment. Therefore, the property management fee is one of the prerequisites for the owner to enjoy the property service.
Secondly, let's analyze the relationship between the rights and obligations between the owner and the property management company. As the owner of the property, the owner has the right to enjoy property management services and pay the property management fee as agreed in the contract.
As a professional service organization, the property management company has the obligation to provide property services in accordance with the contract, and has the right to charge the owner the corresponding management fees. Therefore, at the time of repossession, a contractual relationship has been formed between the owner and the property management company, and the owner shall pay the property management fee in accordance with the contract.
However, in practice, whether it is reasonable to pay the property management fee first still needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Generally speaking, this practice is reasonable if the owner has signed a valid property service contract with the property management company at the time of repossession, and the contract clearly stipulates the clause that the property management fee will be paid first.
However, if there is no clear agreement in the contract or the agreement is not clear, disputes are likely to arise between the owner and the property management company.
In addition, there are some special circumstances that need to be taken into account. For example, some property owners may not move in or use property services for a long time after taking possession of the property, in which case it may not be fair to require the owner to pay the property management fee upfront. Or, some owners may be dissatisfied with the service provided by the property management company and think that the service quality and charging standards do not match, in which case it may not be reasonable to require the owner to pay the property management fee first.
To sum up, whether it is reasonable to pay the property management fee first when receiving the house needs to be judged according to the specific situation. This is reasonable if there is an express agreement in the contract and it complies with the provisions of general contract law. However, if there is no clear agreement in the contract or the agreement is not clear, and there are special circumstances, it is necessary to weigh and judge according to the specific circumstances.
In order to protect their legitimate rights and interests, the owner should carefully read the content of the property service contract when receiving the house, especially the agreement on the property management fee. If you find any doubts or unreasonable points, you should raise them with the property management company in time and negotiate to solve them. At the same time, owners should also understand their rights and obligations, abide by the contract, pay property management fees on time, and ensure the normal operation of property services.
