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

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.

The treatment principle of water and power failure of the property is as follows:

1. Stay calm first: in such cases, stay calm first, and don't take drastic or radical actions;

2. Understand the situation: understand the reasons, time and scope of water and power outages of property companies in order to better cope with them;
