Does the property have the right to cut off electricity if it doesn't pay the electricity bill?

If the owner does not pay the property fee, the property has no right to cut off water and electricity.

The property company shall not stop using the owner's water and electricity without authorization. It is the water supply and power supply company that can stop using the owner's water and electricity. Only the owner can stop using the water and electricity in arrears or because of special circumstances such as checking the water circuit.

First, the counterparties of the water supply and power supply contract for residential owners are the water supply company and the power supply company. According to the principle of consistency between rights and obligations, users of hydropower have the obligation to pay utilities, while providers of hydropower have the obligation to supply hydropower according to the contract. According to the anti-discrimination principle of contract performance, if the water user fails to fulfill the obligation to pay the water and electricity charges, the water supply and power supplier certainly has the right to cut off the water and electricity.

If the power supply department entrusts a property management company to collect water and electricity charges, the property management company can cut off water and electricity for the owner when the owner defaults on the water and electricity charges.

2. Does the property management company have the right to cut off water and electricity without paying property fees?

The parties to the water supply contract are the owner and the water supply company; The parties to a property management contract are the owner and the property management company, which have different legal relations.

Third, the right to stop water and power supply is an important defense right for water supply and power supply enterprises to perform contracts. The property management company is not a water supply and power supply company in the community, so it naturally does not enjoy the right of water supply and power supply. It is stipulated in the property management contract that the property management company can take water and electricity cut off as a punishment in the case of the owner's arrears, which belongs to other contract terms in the contract law. According to the law, such a clause should be agreed by the obligee, otherwise it is invalid, and the owner can investigate the tort liability of the property management company instead.
