During the epidemic shopping malls closed merchants can not pay the property fee?

The owners can not use the epidemic as a reason to refuse to pay the property fee . (1) If it was overdue before the government issued the epidemic control, it should be paid in time and pay the liquidated damages according to the contract. (2) If the agreed time for payment of the property fee expires after the government has issued the epidemic control, it depends on the way of payment of the property fee to be discussed in separate cases: if the payment can only be made in cash, and the owner is unable to return due to the epidemic control, then the owner can request for late fulfillment of the obligation to pay the fee. If, in addition to on-site payment, there are other convenient ways available through the Internet, etc., the owner's late payment will also constitute a breach of contract. Risk Note: Epidemic is not a reasonable defense to the owner's non-performance of the payment obligation. Therefore, the owner can not use the epidemic as a reason to request the property enterprise to reduce or waive the property fee. If the owner is indeed unable to pay the property fee by other means, he can use force majeure as a defense to the breach of contract. For the quality of property services, such as property services companies do work due to the epidemic and other inputs that lead to a decline in the quality of some services, should be informed in advance of the owners, and strive for the understanding of the owners.
