Can the property company increase the price to sell electricity?

Property companies cannot sell electricity at high prices. It is illegal to charge electricity at a high price for residential properties. According to the Property Management Regulations, if a property service enterprise accepts the entrustment to collect water and electricity fees, it shall not charge the owner any extra fees such as handling fees. So, what is the local electricity tariff standard? If the property charges electricity, it can only be charged according to local standards, not at a high price. If the charge is high, the owner can complain to the local price bureau and other departments. "Property Management Regulations" Article 44 In the property management area, water supply, power supply, gas supply, heating, communication, cable television and other units 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.
