1. Main charging modes for elevator fees
At present, there are three main modes for collecting elevator fees in domestic elevator buildings:
| Charging model | Calculation method | Applicable scenarios | Disputed points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evenly distributed per household | Total cost ÷ total number of households | Old residential areas or low-rise residential buildings | High-rise residents think it’s unfair |
| Charges based on floor steps | The higher the floor, the higher the cost ratio | New high-rise residential buildings | Proportional division standards are not uniform |
| Pay per use | Card swipe counting or intelligent monitoring | High-end residential or commercial buildings | High equipment costs, privacy issues |
2. Hot topics on the Internet
1.Is "equal sharing per household" reasonable?The Weibo topic #should elevator fees be divided equally among households? has been read more than 12 million times. Most high-rise residents believe that low-rise users use the elevator less frequently and the equal sharing model is unfair.
2.Dispute over the proportion of tiered feesA poll on a real estate forum showed that 67% of owners accepted the tiered fees, but questioned the standard of "increasing the fee by 10% for every five floors" and believed that adjustments should be made based on the elevator brand and maintenance costs.
3.Smart billing technology and costsZhihu hot posts pointed out that the initial cost of installing smart sensing equipment is as high as 20,000-50,000 yuan per unit, and long-term maintenance costs may be passed on to the owners, which will increase the burden.
3. Comparison of typical cases
| city | Community name | Charging model | Average annual cost (yuan/household) | owner satisfaction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beijing | Chaoyang Jiayuan | Evenly distributed per household | 800-1000 | 45% |
| Shanghai | Pudong Times Apartment | Tiered charges (+15% for every 10 floors) | 500-1500 | 72% |
| Shenzhen | Nanshan Science and Technology Garden | Smart counting | 300-800 | 68% |
4. Expert suggestions and policy trends
1.dynamic adjustment mechanismThe Property Management Association recommends that fee standards be recalculated every year based on elevator energy consumption and maintenance records, and the details be made public.
2.Local policy pilotThe Guangzhou Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau recently released the "Elevator Charging Guidelines (Draft for Comments)", proposing a "basic fee + floating fee" model. The basic fee is charged on a per-household basis, and the floating fee is adjusted on a floor-to-floor basis.
3.Negotiation with owners takes priorityLegal experts emphasized that if the property management company unilaterally sets standards, the owner can negotiate through the property owners committee or apply for a price hearing.
Conclusion
The essence of the elevator fee dispute is an issue of fairness in the distribution of public resources. In the future, with the popularization of technology and improvement of policies, more refined charging models may become a trend. Owners should actively participate in the formulation of rules, and property management companies need to increase transparency to reduce disputes.
