Does the property have the right to charge utilities?

The law does not prohibit property service enterprises from accepting the entrustment of water supply and power supply units to collect utilities and other fees, but property service providers may not urge to pay property fees by stopping power supply, water supply, heating and gas supply. 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 agreement and relevant systems, 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 within 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.

Legal basis:

"Property Management Regulations" Article 19 Within the property management area, water supply, power supply, gas supply, heating, communication, cable television and other units shall charge relevant fees to the end users. The realty service enterprise shall not charge additional fees such as handling fees to the owners if it accepts the entrusted collection fees. As can be seen from the content of this article, the law does not prohibit property service enterprises from accepting water supply and power supply and other units to collect utilities and other fees on their behalf.
