Is it illegal to bind property fee and water fee?

This binding method is illegal, but many owners don't know it, so they never resist. According to the relevant provisions in Articles 37 and 38 of Chapter IV of China's current Property Management Law 20 18, the property shall not expand the charging scope or raise the charging standard without authorization.

Water supply, power supply, gas supply, heating, communication, cable TV and other related expenses in the community should be directly charged by the service provider to the users, and the service to the owners should not be stopped because the property refuses to charge, nor should a user (or all owners) be cut off from water and electricity for any reason!
