Hello, it is generally believed that only if problems arise during the performance of the property service contract, the owner can claim rights against the property company. If the dispute arises from other legal relationships, such as wall cracks due to house quality problems, illegal construction by other owners that affects ventilation and lighting, etc., since it has nothing to do with the property company, it cannot be used as a reason to refuse to pay property fees. Therefore, if you refuse property fees simply because of water leakage in the building, you will most likely lose the lawsuit. Therefore, it is recommended that you negotiate with the property owner to pay the property fee in a timely manner. As for the leakage of the building, if it is caused by man-made reasons, you can claim compensation from the liability company. If it is not caused by man-made reasons and the house is still within the warranty period, you can claim compensation from the developer according to law. If it has been After the warranty period, you can only repair it yourself.

Legal basis:

Article 944 of the Civil Code: The owner shall pay property fees to the property service provider as agreed. If the property service provider has provided services in accordance with the agreement and relevant regulations, the owner shall not refuse to pay property fees on the grounds that he has not accepted or does not need to accept relevant property services.

If the owner violates the agreement and fails to pay property fees overdue, the property service provider may urge the owner to pay within a reasonable period; if the property owner still fails to pay the property fee within a reasonable period of time, the property service provider may file a lawsuit or apply for arbitration.

Property service providers shall not use methods such as stopping power supply, water supply, heat supply, or gas supply to urge the payment of property fees.
