Property is a group that we often come into contact with in our daily life, and every day we see the security guards and cleaners in the community are all property staff.
The emergence of property has improved our living environment, but the life troubles brought by property management are also bothering every resident.
Even in the anti-gang and anti-evil actions in some places, many property company executives have been imprisoned for being involved in gangsters, and the controversy about property has become louder and louder.
Previously, there were many flaws in the property services in many areas in real life, which made many owners feel unsatisfactory and even a little annoyed.
The current law gives property owners a number of rights that they can exercise to check and balance the property and force the property company to improve its services.
The complete cancellation of property has become the call of many property owners, but can property services really be canceled so easily?
1. Will the property be completely cancelled?
Property is not an industry that existed before, but a form of service introduced from foreign countries with modernization, and now it has a wide impact on our lives.
According to the initial positioning of the property service industry, everything is beautiful.
Some people are responsible for order, some people are responsible for hygiene, and some people are responsible for maintenance, and everyone pays the fee according to the standard to jointly maintain a good living environment.
In reality, property brings a lot of troubles to people, if you let everyone complain about their bad property service experience, I am afraid that three days and three nights will not be able to finish.
The owners were very dissatisfied with the poor property service, and the property fees were not paid less, and in the end, there was no significant improvement in the living environment.
Even many people have had the experience of quarreling with the property company, and the problem has not been solved in the end.
Compared with ordinary owners, property companies are on the strong side, and a single individual will certainly not be able to fight against a strong business.
It is precisely because of this disparity in strength that the property company has the confidence to be unworthy of virtue at the root, and it also makes the owner feel that it is difficult to protect rights and governance.
Many friends will feel puzzled: I bought the house and parking space with all the money, but the property often restricts the exercise of my personal rights.
If it is a legitimate restriction, it is understandable, but the improper restriction will affect my legitimate rights and interests, and the house I bought for millions of dollars cannot be disturbed by the property management company at will.
Originally, the property service was to facilitate the life of the owner, but now it has become a disturbance to the life of the owner.
The rhetoric calling for the abolition of property management companies has become louder, and many people are reflecting on whether property management companies should be cancelled.
In fact, judging from the attitude of the official media and the provisions of mainland laws, especially the Civil Code, the property management company cannot be canceled for a while and a half, and can only regulate the operation of the property management company by giving the owner more rights.
So how much power does the law give to the owner, and what rights can the owner exercise to effectively check and balance the property company, these three "new rights" must be known.
2. The Society shall set up an industry committee
The owners' committee is a spontaneous organization set up by the owners to represent the interests of the owners and fight against the property management company, and the owners need to speak with one voice.
The Civil Code of the People's Republic of China stipulates the rights of the property committee, which has many powers, the largest of which is to change property companies.
Since the property management company can be replaced, of course, other rights that restrict the property management company will also be there.
As long as they live in the community, the owners of the community have the right to participate in the owners' committee, which is the basic right of residents.
In reality, many communities do not have property committees, which gives property companies a lot of room to play, and the property does not have to worry about being replaced, so there are those who do wrong.
When the residents of the community encounter difficulties, there is no shortage of enthusiastic big brothers and sisters who will come forward to defend them.
But a lone branch is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom to fill the garden, one or two enthusiastic owners are unable to change the current status quo.
The establishment of the property committee is to reverse this embarrassing situation, so that everyone can rely on, huddle together for warmth, and have the ability to confront strong property companies.
After the establishment of the Owners' Committee, it can supervise the property management company and send various notices and announcements to require the property management company to deal with it in a timely manner.
Individuals are inherently unequal to groups, and group-to-group can reverse this asymmetry, and announcements in the name of the owners' committee can also enhance the deterrent effect on property companies.
Owners need to have the same voice in order to get the attention of the property company, and everyone has a different voice that will only weaken the effect.
When no property management company is willing to take over the community, the property committee can also play the role of the property management company and carry out strong organization and mobilization capabilities.
Residents who have time can join the environmental sub-committee and order sub-committee under the Owners' Committee to carry out cleaning and management work.
Owners raise funds to solve the problem of funding, thus replacing the role of strata fees.
The law gives the owners such rights, and everyone should make good use of these rights, otherwise they can only watch the bad style of the property company as a blessing.
3. Are the income and expenditure known?
In addition to collecting property fees, property companies have many income-generating projects, such as advertisements everywhere and the management of street vendors.
According to the law, these benefits should have been shared by the owners, and the property management company only collected these fees on behalf of the owners, and now they should be spent on the owners.
However, in fact, many people do not enjoy this comparative income, and even when they question the property company, they often cry poor, and often say that they can't make ends meet even after charging so much property fees.
The law gives property owners the right to know, and they have the right to know how much they spend on a monthly or even quarterly basis in the community they live in.
As the operator of the park, the property management company should make financial disclosures every quarter, which is the obligation of the property management company to protect the owners' right to know.
If it is difficult for owners to even guarantee the right to know, then the right to choose based on the right to know cannot be guaranteed.
Whether the owner's right to know can be protected depends largely on whether the property management company attaches importance to it, which is also the difference between good property and bad property.
A good property company never worries about making its accounts public, and even uses these revenue profits to turn them into various gifts to distribute to the owners, so that the owners can enjoy these benefits.
Although it may not be much in the hands of each owner, and some owners don't like it, this is the attitude of the property management company after all.
Many property companies are involved in illegal crimes, and the most important thing is that the income of property accounts is not clear, and even corruption and embezzlement.
While charging high property fees, while embezzling the funds that originally belonged to the owners, in the end, there were no tangible benefits to the owners, and there was no salary increase for the internal employees of the property company.
These will be cashed out to the service quality of the property company, causing dissatisfaction among the owners and causing greater conflicts between the owners and the property.
Fourth, the public benefits are shared
The community generates a lot of public benefits, and these public benefits should be shared by the owners, as mentioned earlier.
The previous focus was on the disclosure of property income and expenditure, and here the law emphasizes more on the ownership of the income capacity of the community itself.
All of this is shared by the owners, so that a lot of money can be generated in the accounts of the community.
Whether the money is distributed to the owners or used as a special maintenance fund, the burden on the owners can be reduced.
These common incomes range from the façade houses and commercial entities of the community to the advertising revenue published in the elevators, which are all benefits that the owners cannot see.
In addition to the daily property fees, the owners live in the community, and there are also these hidden benefits that can be obtained, but the owners don't know that the money ends up flowing to the property.
Invisibly, the property company actually has a lot of extra income, which is made clear in the latest Civil Code, telling everyone that these are owned by the owners.
The environment we live in, whether it's a building or a garden, is not a consumable thing, and they can also generate a lot of income.
Even the income generated by the community in a good location is comparable to the income from the property fee, so that the income-generating project can maintain the daily operation of the community.
Property fees can be charged less or no at all, and these income-generating projects can be outsourced.
It's just that we rarely encounter this kind of community in our daily life, and if we really encounter this kind of community, it's like opening a blind box.
The quality of property service directly affects the quality of the community, and if the community with a poor location has good property service, it will not affect the housing price of the community.
Property companies are sometimes the golden signs of the community, and they are also very important to buyers, but such a community can be encountered but not sought.
We hope that there will be more excellent properties in the future, and it is not impossible to even emerge as a benchmark such as "Fat Donglai" in the property industry.
epilogue
In general, the Civil Code gives owners many rights, and in general, the formation of owners' committees, the right to know and the right to share benefits are the core rights.
Property has the value of the property, and we can't cancel it for a while, but we have the right to change it, and it involves the life of every owner.
By clearing these obstacles, everyone's life can become leisurely, and they will not be disturbed by the property of the community every day, which also affects the mood of everyone's life.
The law does not protect people who sleep on power, and when the law was not in place in the past, everyone could talk about the problem of the law, but now it can't.
If you enjoy your rights but do not exercise them, you can only bear your own risks and complain to others in the end.
We must master these means and methods of rights protection, and we must protect ourselves when the property infringes on legitimate rights and interests.
