recently, some owners of the guomao·government mansion in dongcheng street, dongguan city, were stopped from receiving air conditioning cooling by dongguan minying property management co., ltd. due to their non-payment of air conditioning cooling fees, which aroused public concern. on september 13, the reporter learned from dongcheng street, dongguan city that dongguan minying property management co., ltd. has resumed central air conditioning cooling for the owners of guomao·government mansion to ensure the owners' normal living needs. however, the property company and the owners have not yet reached an agreement on the charging standards.
the property has resumed central air conditioning
it is understood that the cooling method of dongguan guomao·government house is centralized cooling, and the property's central air-conditioning cooling equipment provides services to the owners. according to the affected owners, the central air-conditioning equipment in the residential area uses commercial electricity prices, and the owners need to pay air-conditioning cooling fees ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan each month. some owners think that the charges are unreasonable and have been in arrears. after the arrears, the property company issued a "notice to stop supplying central air conditioning", and the users who failed to pay were stopped from receiving cooling.
due to the recent high temperatures in dongguan, the property company's suspension of cooling has had a significant impact on the lives of the owners. the reporter learned from dongcheng street, dongguan city that on the afternoon of september 12, representatives of relevant departments of dongcheng street, dongtai community, minying property company, and owners held a coordination meeting on the air conditioning cooling fee of the guomao government house. at the coordination meeting, the property company involved explained in detail the basis for charging the air conditioning cooling fee and answered the questions and demands raised by the owners. regarding the charging standard issue that the owners are most concerned about, the property company and the owners have not yet reached an agreement. after the two sides reach a consensus, they will continue to hold a coordination meeting on this issue to negotiate a solution.
according to the reporter, the property company has now resumed central air conditioning to ensure the normal living needs of the owners. the reporter called minying property company on september 14 to learn about the latest developments of the incident. the operator of the property company said that they would get back to the reporter after understanding the situation with the leader, but as of press time, no reply has been received.
cooling involves people's livelihood needs. lawyers suggest in-depth consultation
why do residential communities need to pay commercial electricity prices for using air conditioners? dongcheng subdistrict responded to a reporter from yangcheng evening news that according to the guangdong pricing catalogue (2022 edition) and the measures for the administration of property service fees by the guangdong provincial price bureau and the guangdong provincial department of housing and urban-rural development (yuejia [2010] no. 1), the cooling fee for indoor air conditioners in residential communities is a paid service charge and is not included in the scope of residential property service charges in the early stage. it is subject to market-adjusted price management. the specific charging standards are determined by negotiation between the two parties to the property service and agreed upon in the service contract. dongcheng subdistrict did not respond to the reporter's question of whether the property's use of equipment at commercial electricity prices to provide cooling for residential owners meets planning requirements.
so is the previous measure of stopping cooling implemented by the property to users who owed fees legal? lai xiaojie, a lawyer at guangdong xinerli law firm, said that referring to the relevant provisions of chapter 10 of the civil code of the people's republic of china on electricity, water, gas and heat supply contracts, it is usually understood that the property stops water and electricity in order to collect property fees. however, in this incident, the property is a party to the cooling contract, and its identity is not a simple property unit. the act of stopping cooling is not to collect property fees, but because the owner has not paid the cooling fee. after the reminder, advance notice and giving the owner of the cooling a certain period of time, it has a certain legal basis. however, since cooling in guangdong is indispensable in hot weather, when taking relevant measures, the property should also fully consider the cooling needs of the residents and adopt more humane measures.
as for whether the property company's charging of cooling fees far higher than the residential electricity price complies with relevant laws and regulations, lawyer lai xiaojie said that this issue should be based on the question of "whether the community's use of commercial electricity price equipment to provide cooling for residential owners complies with planning requirements." if the property company's electricity use complies with regulations, then the reasonable cooling expenses should be shared by the residents who use cooling, which is in line with the principle of fairness. however, lawyer lai xiaojie also emphasized that cooling in the south is an issue involving people's livelihood security, and it cannot be agreed upon simply by a simple contract, so lai xiaojie suggested that the owner and the property company should conduct in-depth negotiations to protect the interests of all parties.
