Is it reasonable to recover the water and electricity card after the property is vacant?

In most cases, it is reasonable for the property to recover the water and electricity card after completing the vacancy procedure. This is because vacant rooms mean that the house is uninhabited, and the property needs to ensure that the water and electricity supply of the house is cut off to avoid waste of resources and potential safety hazards. Therefore, when the property is vacant, it usually requires the owner to return the water and electricity card.

However, in some special circumstances, the owner may need to continue to use the water and electricity card. For example, owners need to check the condition of their houses regularly during the vacant period, or need to use water and electricity for necessary maintenance and cleaning, then they may need to continue to use water and electricity cards.

To sum up, it is reasonable for the property to recover the water and electricity card after going through the vacancy formalities, but it also needs to consider the special needs of the owners. If the owner needs to continue to use the water and electricity card, he should communicate with the property and obtain the corresponding authorization.
