As for your question, I first want to tell you that the property price will increase, but the property has no right to increase the price. It must submit a price increase request to the owners committee, and the owners committee will organize a meeting of owners to vote. Generally, The form of convening an owners' meeting is to distribute voting votes and let the owners choose. The final meeting is actually just to count the voting results. I can answer your question in three aspects:
First, do owners have the right to check the voting results? Generally speaking, owners can ask to check their own ballots. Generally speaking, the ballots require a number. and the owners' own signatures to prevent fraud. If some of you owners express doubts, you can ask to check your own ballots. As for the votes of other owners, generally you can only check them yourself. Of course, if you are careless, you can also check them.
Second, your result of 69% is actually not very high. It should be said that the opposition is quite loud. There should be a note at the end of the general voting ballot. Those who do not give feedback or vote by the time limit will be deemed to agree. In other words, a considerable number of people who received the ballot but did not vote, or directly put the blank vote into the ballot box will be deemed to agree. Because under normal circumstances, voting matters are discussed in advance by the owners' committee and a unanimous result is then submitted to the owners' meeting for a vote, so according to the "Rules of Procedure" of your community, there will be a statement that it is regarded as agreement at the end.
Thirdly, the minimum property cost of newly opened communities is above 2.5 yuan/m2. I don’t know how much it will be after the price increase in your community. If the price increase is only about 1.5 yuan/m2, personally The suggestion is still reasonable, but it must be made to the property owners committee to urge the property company to do a good job in property management. Labor costs are rising and property costs cannot keep up, which ultimately affects the quality of life of community residents themselves.
Finally, regarding the charging date, under normal circumstances, charging starts after the vote is passed, but generally the start of charging is based on the contract between your community and the property company. I estimate that the contract signed in your community is 5.1 number, so the period is generally calculated from 5.1. As for whether it can be applied retroactively, the key depends on the content of your vote. If the content of the vote is to vote on how much property fees will increase starting from May 1st, it is generally accepted. The community is a collective of completely autonomous owners, so generally it is OK as long as your owners’ meeting votes and approves.
The above is the understanding in real estate practice. If you have any questions, please feel free to consult.
