Hello, lawyer Zhang! I would like to ask if I still need to pay the property fee owed before the house is sold.

Legally speaking, the property fees owed by the second-hand house sale have nothing to do with the buyers, and the buyers are not obliged to pay the property fees before the house is delivered. The buyer establishes a new property service contract relationship with the property management company after purchasing the house, and only promises to pay the property management fee after moving in, that is, after the house is delivered.

Legal basis:

Article 7 of the Property Management Regulations

Owners shall perform the following obligations in property management activities:

(a) in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state to pay special maintenance funds;

(2) Pay the property service fee on time;

(3) Other obligations stipulated by laws and regulations.

Article 65 of the Regulations on Property Management

In violation of the property service contract, the owners fail to pay the property service fee within the time limit, and the owners' committee shall urge them 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.
