How to deal with illegal water and power cuts?

Whether it is illegal for a property to stop water and power supply depends on the specific situation. Generally, in real life, electricity, water, gas, heating and other related expenses with the nature of public services are collected by property service companies entrusted by relevant units. If the owner refuses to pay the above fees within a reasonable period of time because he has not paid the relevant fees, and after repeated reminders, the property service company can take corresponding measures against the defaulting owners according to the requirements of the relevant entrusting units, such as stopping water supply and power supply. If there is no situation that the property is entrusted by the relevant unit to collect the relevant fees, the general owner will only form a water supply and power supply contract relationship with the water supply and power supply unit; Property can only enjoy the rights and obligations related to property services according to the stipulations of the property service contract. When the two contracts between the property and the owner are independent of each other in terms of water supply and power supply, even if the owner fails to pay the water or electricity fee, the property has not unilaterally taken measures to stop water or power supply. It is illegal to stop water and power without authorization, and the damaged owners can investigate the tort liability of the property service company according to their actual losses. "Property Management Regulations" Article 44 In the property management area, water supply, power supply, gas supply, heating, communication, cable television 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.
