Property fees are not paid for water and power outages.

It is unreasonable not to pay property fees for water and power cuts. Property management companies force owners to pay property service fees by cutting off water and electricity, which is an infringement. This behavior can only be decided by the Ministry of Water and Electricity. The property company is not a party to the water supply and power supply contract and has no right to interrupt the water supply and power supply to the owner without authorization.
