Is it legal to charge electricity for residential property?

The property has no right to collect water and electricity charges, unless the property is entrusted by the relevant unit to collect relevant fees, but no additional fees shall be charged to the owner.

Entrusted by the water supply and power supply unit, the property company can collect the water and electricity charges from the owners, but the property company collects the water and electricity charges from the owners on behalf of the water supply company and the power supply company. Property companies shall implement the price standards of water supply and power supply departments, and shall not, in violation of the stipulations of the property service contract or the provisions of laws, regulations and departmental rules, expand the charging scope, raise the charging standards or repeat the charging without authorization. Article 44 02 of the Regulations on Property Management: Within the property management area, water supply, power supply, gas supply, heating, communication, cable TV and other units shall charge relevant fees to the end users. Where a realty service enterprise accepts the entrustment to collect the fees mentioned in the preceding paragraph, it shall not collect additional fees such as handling fees from the owners.
