Assistant Judge Liu Zhongwei of the People's First Division of the Supreme People's Court: The trial court found that China's Civil Code clearly stipulates that property service providers must not expedite payment of property fees by stopping the supply of electricity, water, heating, or gas. In this case, although Lao Zhang is in arrears in payment of the property fee, a property company should not hasten the payment of the property fee by not activating the access card for the owner so that they cannot enter the unit door properly or use the elevator access control system normally. The breach of contract by Lao Zhang in arrears in paying the property fee can be separately defended in accordance with the law. After the judge made an explanation according to law, the property company voluntarily resumed Lao Zhang's use of the access control system during the trial of the case. The landlord should pay the property fee to the property service provider in accordance with the agreement, but in practice, there are situations where the owner delays or even refuses to pay the property fee from time to time, and the property service provider often uses various methods to expedite payment of the property fee.
