Does the property management company have the right to forcibly cut off water and electricity when the owner defaults in paying the property fee?

Legal analysis: the property management company has no right to force water and power cuts if the owner fails to pay the property fees in arrears. Because water supply and power supply is a service provided by the water supply and power supply company to the owner, only the water supply and power supply company has the right to stop water supply and power supply because the owner does not pay the fee. Property does not enjoy this right, and it is not allowed to cut off power and water without permission.

Legal basis: Article 176 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Contract Law is a contract in which a power supplier supplies electricity to a user and the user pays the electricity fee.

"People's Republic of China (PRC) property management regulations" Article 41 The owner shall pay the property service fee according to the property service contract. If the owner and the user of the property agree that the user of the property shall pay the property service fee, the owner shall bear joint and several liability from the agreement. Property that has been completed but has not been sold or handed over to the property buyer shall be paid by the construction unit.
