Can the property stop the owner's water?

Legal analysis: the property can't stop the owner's water. The right to stop water and power supply is an important defense right for water supply and power supply enterprises to perform contracts. The property management company is not a water supply and power supply company in the community, so it naturally does not enjoy the right of water supply and power supply. In addition, if the owner fails to pay the property management fee, the property management company should defend its rights through litigation or other legal means, and it is not allowed to cut off water and electricity without authorization, unless the contract between the two parties clearly stipulates that water and electricity cuts are the means for the property management company to collect the property management fee.

Legal basis: Article 944 of General Principles of Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the owner shall pay the property fee to the property service provider as agreed. If the property service provider has provided services in accordance with the agreement and relevant regulations, the owner shall not refuse to pay the property fee on the grounds that he has not accepted or does not need to accept the relevant property services. If the owner fails to pay the property fee within the time limit in violation of the agreement, the property service provider may urge him to pay it within a reasonable period of time; If the payment is not made within a reasonable period, the property service provider may bring a lawsuit or apply for arbitration. The property service provider shall not stop power supply, water supply, heat supply and gas supply to demand payment of property fees.
