Legal analysis

There is a service contract relationship between the owner and the property service enterprise. The property service enterprise has the obligation to provide property services according to the agreement in the property service contract, and the owner has the obligation to pay the property fee according to the agreement. However, if the property service enterprises restrict customers' consumption rights such as water, electricity, gas and transportation, it obviously infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of the owners. If the property management company restricts the owner's purchase of electricity, which infringes on the owner's rights and interests of independent consumption and obviously violates relevant laws, if it does not correct it, the owner can complain to the consumer protection department or bring a lawsuit to the court to safeguard his legitimate rights and interests. Under normal circumstances, the owner has the right to use electricity according to law. Even if the owner defaults on the property fee, the property has no right to restrict the owner's electricity consumption, which is illegal. To be sure, there is no reason for the property to restrict the use of electricity by the owners. However, there is a situation that must be explained: the electricity fee of the residential area is entrusted by the power bureau to collect and manage the property, and the owner does not pay the electricity fee for a long time. After repeated reminders, the property will be the agent of the power bureau, and the main responsibility of the property in the community is to maintain facilities and equipment, keep the community green and clean, and serve the owners. This is the main responsibility of the property, not to mention the disposal and restraint of the owners.

legal ground

Article 944 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), the owner shall pay the property fee to the property service provider as agreed. If the property service provider has provided services in accordance with the contract and relevant regulations, the owner shall not refuse to pay the property fee on the grounds that he has not accepted or does not need to accept the relevant property services. If the owner fails to pay the property fee within the time limit in violation of the agreement, the property service provider may urge him to pay it within a reasonable period of time; If the payment is not made after the expiration of a reasonable period, the property service provider may bring a lawsuit or apply for arbitration. The property service provider shall not stop power supply, water supply, heat supply and gas supply to demand payment of property fees.
