Does the property have the right to manage elevator cards?

In addition, even if the owner fails to pay the property fee, the property has no right to restrict the owner from using the elevator on this ground, which infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of the owner. In this case, the owner can coordinate with the property through the industry Committee, or complain to the relevant departments about rights protection.
