Is it illegal to stop water and electricity and not pay property fees?

It is illegal to cut off water and electricity without paying property fees.

If the property fee is paid in full, the property service provider may urge it to pay the property fee 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, and shall not take illegal means such as water and electricity cuts to demand payment of property fees.

It is unreasonable not to pay property fees for water and power cuts.

Property companies have no right to cut off water and electricity.

Because the owner did not pay the property service fee on time, it violated the property service contract signed with the property company.

As a property company, we should urge the owners who have breached the contract to pay compensation according to the contract or solve it through legal channels.

The law does not give property companies the right to cut off water and electricity.

In addition, the owner's water supply and power supply are obtained after signing water supply and power supply agreements with water supply companies and power supply companies respectively and paying relevant fees.

It is not the same as the property service fee that the owner has to pay.

Obviously, it is wrong and illegal for property companies to do so.
