What will happen if you don't pay the heating bill now?

"You are snowing heavily in the sunny south, and I am as cold as spring in the north." Every year 1 1 until March next year is the heating season for friends in the north. The outdoor wind is biting, but the indoor air is warm as spring, which makes the wet and cold southerners envious. However, in recent years, disputes over heating costs have continued, mainly because of the consequences of not paying heating costs.

In the five years since the implementation of "Beijing Heating Management Measures" (hereinafter referred to as "Management Measures"), the lawsuits caused by heating disputes have increased instead of decreased. Gao Nan, a judge of Tongzhou District People's Court, said that heating disputes accounted for about 40% of the total number of small litigation cases in the whole year, most of which were caused by heating users' arrears in heating fees.

Reasons for not paying the heating bill

1. The temperature is not up to standard.

Li's family has lived in a community in Tongzhou for more than four years. Every winter, the whole family will be fully armed and wear more clothes at home than when they go out. To this end, Zhang repeatedly told the heating company that the heating was not hot, so he refused to pay the heating fee.

This house is unoccupied.

Ms. Wang admitted in court that she had not paid the heating fee for three years, and only agreed to pay the heating fee from 20 14 to 20 15 3. "We moved in after the renovation of 20 14, and no one lived before." Ms. Wang thinks that she didn't enjoy the heating service in the community before she checked in, so she shouldn't pay the money.

Step 3 choose self-heating

Zhao thinks that the heating in the residential area is not up to standard, and he is old, so he uses his own three air conditioners for heating, and there is no need for unified heating by the property company.

The heating equipment has been removed.

20 1 1 At the beginning of the year, when decorating the house, Ms. Sun refused to pay the heating fee after all the radiators in her house were removed.

Consequences of not paying the heating bill

Article 18 of the Measures for the Administration of Heating and Heating in Beijing stipulates that users of household independent heating systems can only suspend heating by heating units after reaching an agreement with heating units on matters such as suspending heating time and paying basic fees without affecting the normal heating and heating facilities of other users.

Article 21 of the Administrative Measures clearly stipulates that users shall not dismantle or change indoor heating facilities, expand heating area or increase refrigeration equipment without authorization ... Users who cause losses to others due to dismantling or changing indoor heating facilities shall bear corresponding responsibilities.

According to the Administrative Measures for Heating Metering of Residential Buildings in Beijing, the heating metering charge of residential buildings consists of two parts: basic heating price and metering heating price. The basic heat price is levied according to the construction area, and the metering heat price is levied according to the heat consumption.

So if you don't pay the heating fee, the most likely thing is to stop heating until you pay the fee. If you don't pay, the gas supply company can charge a late fee. You can also take the debtor to court, and the court will issue a subpoena to enforce it, directly deducting the arrears and legal fees from the consumer's bank account.

Lawyer Xu also said that the litigation result of not paying the heating bill is relatively simple, that is, most users lose the case.

Summary: If you don't pay the heating fee and don't apply for stopping the supply, you will face liquidated damages and court proceedings. If you don't want to pay the heating fee, you need to bring a copy of the real estate license and ID card to the customer service center to apply for parking, which can be done before the household control system is heated.
