The latest provisions on the standard of electricity charges for joint ventures.

In 2022, public facilities will be included in the property fee, and there will be no additional charge.

After the adjustment of the property fee standard in 2022, the property service fee is subject to the "one-fee system", that is, the elevator fee and the shared electricity fee are included in the property fee and are no longer charged separately. Top-level service is RMB per square meter per month, including RMB for second-level service, RMB for third-level service and RMB for external service.

In fact, the pool water and electricity charges have not been cancelled, but they have to be paid, but they are not repeated. Sharing utilities is actually the cost of property management fees. Some residential property service contracts have included public utilities, but they have to be charged to the owners, which is actually repeated charges. The merged water and electricity charges have not been cancelled, but have been included in the cost of property services and collected together, rather than separately. However, the policies of charging public utility fees vary from place to place, and the charging methods are also different. Therefore, if the owners are required to pay the property service fees separately, it is best to carefully check the signed property contract to see if there is any problem of repeated charging. According to the Measures for the Administration of Property Service Charges, 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. If the property management enterprise accepts the entrustment to collect the above fees, it may charge the entrusting unit a handling fee, and may not charge the owners any additional fees such as handling fees.

Nowadays, in many residential properties, there are usually three ways to collect water and electricity:

1, first, the separate charge for water and electricity sharing is not included in the property service fee;

2. The second type is stipulated in the property contract that all the shared expenses will be included in the property service fee, and no additional fees will be charged, that is, the contract system will be implemented;

3. The third is that the public utility expenses involving all the owners of the community are included in the property service fee or included in the management fee, but only involve the public utility expenses of some owners, such as corridors, elevators, washing pools, etc. , jointly owned by the owners within the scope involved.

But in fact, no matter which allocation method is adopted, the cost of water and electricity allocation is ultimately borne by the owner. Because, after all, the water and electricity in the public * * * area is used by the owner, and it is natural for the owner to bear it.
