Is it illegal to pay the electricity bill?

Legal analysis: not illegal. The property company is waiting for the power department to collect the electricity bill, and the power department only gives the property company a general ticket. If the power company does not charge the terminal, it can only issue a unified large invoice for the whole community. You can ask the property management company for a copy of this invoice, and the property management company can make a split list.

Legal basis: Article 44 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.
