Can the property cut off water and electricity?

The property has no right to cut off water and electricity. The property company is not a party to the power supply contract or water supply contract. Based on the principle of contract relativity, property companies do not enjoy the contractual rights of power suppliers and water suppliers. Therefore, without the authorization of public utilities, owners or judicial administrative organs, property management companies may not cut off power and water supply on the grounds that owners have not paid property fees.
