物业费迟交被罚：我是否要打这个官司 ？

可能想要卖出自己的物业了吧。 想想也是，也就是中国人会想出每月缴付管理费这种麻烦别人、自己也得不到什么好处的方式来。如果你打算长驻下去的话，去找他们的律师，说明自己的原因，求得对方的谅解，然后，拿出你的支票本来，填上12张Post Dated Cheque，一次性地交给这个律师，估计他会放你一马的。住在加拿大，千万要用加拿大的处事方法去处理问题。老是用中国的那一套，你会吃亏的。切记。

To protect my interest, I have become a director of the board for many years in a condo apartment. My experience perhaps can help you. All condos are managed by a Board of Directors, elected by owners, and the directors have to meet every month. The directors hire a management company to do the work. The company is paid a certain percent of the total revenue, i.e. maintenance fee as compensation. Maintenance fees are payable the first day of the month, though most management companies allow an "unspoken" grace period for a few days, before any legal actions. In practice, most owners send in 12 post dated cheques at a time. For late fees after the grace period, the management companies may or may not send you courteous reminders. They have the legal rights to collect the fees via an independent law firm. There is no penalty. Legally, no individual except the government can post penalty on another individual. After said that, the management company can post additional administration fees on late payments, because the collection may involve additional costs. In this case, a law firm is involved, so there is a legal fee as well. If you don't pay now, the law firm will post a lien on your property until resolution. A lien and the discharge of the lien may add up to about $1,200. You cannot sell your townhouse before the lien is lifted. Suggestions: 1. Pay now no matter what to stop the possibility of a lien. 2. Dispute the management action via the Board of Directors. Attend their monthly meeting. Argue the grace period is too short. 3. If the Board won't agree, so be it. You won't have a chance at any court or tribunal because you were wrong to begin with. 4. If the Board agree, the Board will reimburse the money to you from the maintenance fees. In other words, everyone in your condo share the consequence of your mistake. 5. Become a Board director to protect your best interest. You become part of the decision to hire another management company. "sedona"经常在网上发表一些很有帮助的评论,我也喜欢看,他有许多的国外经验和指导,对新移民很有帮助.但我不明白的是:他是因为出国的时间太长或是喜欢用英语表达(他的英语的确是好),评论的大多时候都用英语表达,既然在中文的"51"网上,为何就不能用中文?我们在"51"上并不是想提高自己的英语水平,而是要相互沟通,了解消息,对吗?

请提建议或给予指教的用中文来回复他。

还是上庭吧，有胜算。

给律师强奸滋味不好受吧.

没工作，新移民就买的起Townhouse 300块不也是小事一桩？ 怎么看这话都觉得酸溜溜的。

我这个人常常是在网上付款，直接从银行划出，这样即省时间，又不花费邮资费。如果觉得银行划款不方便，就在每月的２５号左右寄出你的支票，提前几天寄出去，就不会出现迟交的事情发生。另一个办法就是给管理公司一张VOID支票，让它自己划去。这次的罚款是一个教训，以后不再发生就是了。

花钱买教训吧, 这种事是不应该发生的, 管理费一般是在年初给管理公司半年或者一年的POST CHECK, 你和管理公司都省事儿.

In accordance with the postal rule of the business law, a cheque sent out before the due date and stamped by Postal Canada, is considered received by the management company. It is not late. Pay attention to fine prints though. Some companies like most credit card companies define payment by the date they receive the cash or cheque, not the date you send it out. I don't know if this so-called postal rule is a practice in business. As I know of, a credit company may not go by a postal mark to decide if a payment is late or not: they usually noted on a statement that the payment date is the receiving date of the payment, not the postal date. However, as I have experienced, most government practices use postal date to decide if a payment is on time or not. But, you may know more in the business practice. I would always varify the date if in doubt.

如果是我,会给对方律师写信说明自己已经按对方要求将管理费补交了, 并解释一下忘交的原因和必要的道歉. 为避免类似事件发生,主动询问一下对方期待的交款方式和时限,保证今后会按时交款. 我想,对方不一定是因为你这件事而请的律师,你毕竟是客户,只要做事通情达理,应该是能被接受的.

所以罚金那么大。上法庭可能与事无补。如果这缴费时间真是每月第一天，那么你的物业在开始似乎还挺宽容。尝试和物业谈一下，搞清楚他们如何算你的罚金和其他有关事宜。是否可以采用定期银行账户扣款的方式等等。 In accordance with the postal rule of the business law, a cheque sent out before the due date and stamped by Postal Canada, is considered received by the management company.

不用怕, 自己跟法官讲清楚. 先文字跟管理公司或律师沟通,如沟通不了, 自己上庭.罚款不合理

你的TOWNHOUSE在哪里的, 怎么管理费那么低

这样的官司一般是不值得打得。物业已将此事交于律师处理，律师知道这样的处理是否合法，即使律师是物业的律师，也不会因为3百多块钱而不顾规定或法律。 一般这样的纠纷因先尝试沟通和协商。本人没有这样的经历，但怀疑你可能对什么时候交管理费可能了解有误差。比如管理费是否应在每月的第一天交出，而不是两个月的中间一次性交两个月的费用。如果是每月第一天交当月费用，那么，你实际上今年的1月、3月、5月三个月都迟交30天以上。问清楚物业什么时候该交管理费，也可以问你原来买房是的律师。 另外，每月第一天交出不是你寄出支票的时间，严格说应是对方收到你的Cash的时间（当然你给他支票他不Cash你是他的问题）。若从这个角度，你是每月都迟交了。所以罚金那么大。上法庭可能与事无补。如果这缴费时间真是每月第一天，那么你的物业在开始似乎还挺宽容。尝试和物业谈一下，搞清楚他们如何算你的罚金和其他有关事宜。是否可以采用定期银行账户扣款的方式等等。

以法律为准绳---不按时交无业费罚款,以事实为依据---5月的无业费到7月还没交. 恐怕罚款不按时交,留案底信用记录不良.解决办法,读小区的法--买房是给你的一大本法.看该罚多少.协商少罚点.

谢谢２位胞的参与，时间是７月２８日，输入错了。

很同情。我无房产，也无此经历，可能帮不上什么忙。但以下建议看是否对你有用： 从常理上讲，这么点儿钱，迟交时间也不长，处理办法也就是楼上的看法。大不了叫滞纳金或罚金罢了。通过律师催收，似无必要。所以，你需了解物业的通行做法，尤其是有文字的有关规定和程序。向他们索要如此做的依据。我想，一定有个程序。如果某人超越了这一程序，你的胜数就大。 另，"要求我们须在6月28日之前交清。"是否应为“7月28日”？

忘交一次$100, 罚款300多, 这个好象不太make sense. 一般讲应当是你补上$100后, 在加罚$25-$50的late fee加上interest.
