Does the electricity charge for corridor lights belong to property management?

Legal analysis: if it is an old community, there is no property company management, and ordinary people do not pay property fees. Then, there is no dispute that the electricity fee generated by the public lighting of corridor lights and residential courtyard lights should be borne by all residents. Then, in the residential area with property management, whether the electricity fee for corridor lights is included in the property fee is inconsistent in different places: First, the property fee adopts the "one-fee system" model, that is, the water and electricity fees shared by the owners are merged into the property fee collection, and the owners no longer pay separately. This model is widely used in most areas, including Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other areas with high level of property management. For the owner, this way is more convenient, just pay the property fee every month, and there is no need to inquire about the energy consumption of public facilities and water and electricity. But for property management companies, the problem is that before taking over the project, if the consumption of public facilities cannot be accurately measured and predicted, there may be a loss of property fees. Second, the property fee is collected in the mode of "separation of two fees", which is still adopted in some areas at present. That is to say, in addition to the property fee, the owner also needs to pay the public energy consumption such as corridor lights. The property management company shall, according to the actual configuration of public facilities, regularly publish and collect from the owners.
