Abstract: This paper discusses the high risk of city residential property disputes challenging the grassroots governance. The different types of property disputes are correlated with life cycles of residential areas, which are easily overlaying and making the disputes complicated. Property disputes present a rigid tendency in forms, such as vicious cycle, poor repair ability, grouped crimes and violence. The study finds that the internal mechanism of rigid dispute is the two-way weak constraint caused by the multi-lateral structure and incompleteness of property contracts. In addition to the macroscopic legal system, a better property dispute resolving mechanism needs to strengthen both the grassroots management ability and the property owner autonomy ability, build a good property management consultation architecture, so as to form a benign interaction of conventional negotiation and dispute resolution mechanism.
