Is it illegal for the property to stop water and power for the owner?

Whether it is illegal for the property owner to stop water and power supply depends on the situation:

1. If the owner fails to pay the relevant fees within a reasonable period of time, after being urged, the property service company shall take corresponding measures such as water stoppage and power outage according to the requirements of the relevant entrusting unit;

2. If there is no relevant fee for property collection, the owner will only form a water supply and power supply contract relationship with the relevant units of water supply and power supply. Even if the owner does not pay the water and electricity bills, the property has no right to unilaterally take measures to cut off water and electricity.

Legal basis: Article 43 of the Regulations on Property Management.

The realty service enterprise may, according to the entrustment of the owners, provide services other than those stipulated in the realty service contract, and the service remuneration shall be agreed by both parties.

Article 44

Within the property management area, water supply, power supply, gas supply, heating, communication, cable TV 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.

Article 45

The realty service enterprise shall stop the violation of laws and regulations such as public security, environmental protection, property decoration and use in the realty management area, and report to the relevant administrative departments in a timely manner.

After receiving the report from the realty service enterprise, the relevant administrative department shall stop the illegal act or deal with it according to law.
