In today's era of high-speed information transmission, the quality of communication signals is crucial to people's lives and work. However, is it reasonable for some property owners to refuse to pay the strata fee because of the poor communication signal in the community?
Yangui Nest Legal Service Group pointed out that it is first necessary to clarify the scope of property fees. The property fee is mainly used for the maintenance and management of the public areas of the community, the maintenance of environmental sanitation, the operation of security facilities, etc., aiming to provide a comfortable, safe and clean living environment for the owners.
The main body of responsibility for the problem of poor communication signal is often not the property management company. The coverage of communication signals is usually the responsibility of the telecom operator, and the property company may not have the direct authority and ability to improve it.
For example, due to the special geographical location of a certain community, the signal reception is not good. Despite the dissatisfaction of the landlords, the utility company has been doing its best to maintain the communal facilities, greenery and security of the community.
From a legal point of view, the property service contract signed between the owner and the property management company stipulates the rights and obligations of both parties. As long as the strata company has fulfilled its due diligence in accordance with the contract, the landlord should pay the strata fee. Payment cannot be denied because of the communication signal, which is an issue over which the utility company is not directly controlled.
Of course, if the communication signal problem seriously affects the life of the owner, Yangui Legal Service Group suggests that the owner can report to the telecom operator through legal channels, such as reporting to the telecom operator, or jointly with other owners to communicate and negotiate with the relevant departments to promote the solution of the problem.
In conclusion, a poor communication signal should not be a valid reason for a landlord to refuse to pay the strata fee. Yangui Nest Legal Service Group calls on the owners to look at the problem rationally, solve the problem in a reasonable and legal way, and jointly create a harmonious community environment.
