How to use 物业
In everyday mainland Chinese, 物业 most often means the property management office of a residential compound, the people you call when the elevator breaks or you pay fees. 有问题可以找物业。(Yǒu wèntí kěyǐ zhǎo wùyè.) If there is a problem, you can contact property management.
物 (wù) means thing or object, and 业 (yè) means business or property, as in 事业 (shìyè). Put them together and the "things you own as a business asset" are your buildings and land, your 物业.
Common mistake: Learners often use 物业 to mean any piece of property they own, like a phone or a bag. It only refers to real estate or its management. For personal belongings use 东西 (dōngxi) or 财产 (cáichǎn).
