Can the owner apply for water and electricity cuts by himself? How to apply?

It is a breach of contract for the lessor to continuously cut off water and electricity. You can't apply in this case.

According to Article 45 of the Property Management Regulations, water supply, power supply, gas supply, heating, communication, cable TV and other units in the property management area 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.

In other words, the contract subjects of the owner's electricity and water use are water supply companies and power supply companies, involving different contract parties. If the owner has paid the corresponding fee to the water and electricity supply company, the property management company has no right to interrupt the water and electricity supply to the owner without authorization.

If the contract is not terminated and the lessee breaches the contract, it shall bear the liability for breach of contract, but the lessor's failure to cut off water and electricity is also a breach of contract, that is, both parties have breached the contract. In this case, the lessor shall bear the corresponding liability for breach of contract and compensate the lessee for the losses caused thereby.

Landlord and tenant are equal civil subjects, and both parties should fulfill their obligations according to the contract. Any party who violates it shall bear the corresponding liability for breach of contract.
