What if I don't pay the property fee and receive a letter from a lawyer?

As the owner, it is wrong to refuse to pay the property fee for any reason. If the owner is not satisfied with the management or service of the property company, he can complain to the property management office where the community is located, and the relevant departments will investigate the complained property company. As a property company, if the owner does not pay the property fee, the property company can collect the property fee through legal means or other means, and it is not necessary to give the elevator control card. Therefore, if the owner does not pay the fee, the property company can sue the owner according to the property service contract.

First of all, the property company sends a lawyer's letter because you may have been in arrears with the property fee for a long time, and he will send you a lawyer's letter only after repeated unsuccessful communication with you. Sending a lawyer's letter is usually the preparatory work before the prosecution, which proves that you have fulfilled the notification procedure. If you still don't pay the property fee after receiving the lawyer's letter, you may face litigation in the future.

Secondly, the lawyer's letter is legally binding and should be taken seriously. After receiving the lawyer's letter, you should think it over. See if you have received the dunning call, text message, registered letter and property fee list, and find out how much property fee you are in arrears. Under normal circumstances, as long as the property evidence is conclusive, the court supports the property company to ask you to pay the property fee and related late fees. If the property fee is not paid for a long time, the owner will inevitably register with the residential property company, and the owner will inevitably be affected when renting parking spaces and houses in the residential area for maintenance. Property companies will refuse or delay to provide property services such as maintenance to owners on the grounds of not paying property fees. In the long run, the owners will be uncomfortable living in the community.

What should I do if I receive a letter from a property dunning lawyer?

The amount owed should be checked and returned as soon as possible. According to the Civil Code, the parties shall perform their obligations in person. If the party fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the contract, the other party may demand compensation. So if they don't pay back the money as soon as possible, they can sue the property.

Legal basis: Article 64 of the Property Management Regulations violates the stipulations of the property service contract, and if the owner fails to pay the property service fee within the time limit, the owners' committee shall urge him to pay it within a time limit; If it fails to pay within the time limit, the realty service enterprise may bring a lawsuit to the people's court.
