Is it legal for the landlord to charge 90 cents for electricity?

Legal analysis: whether it is illegal or not depends on whether the electricity price is agreed in the lease contract. Even if there is an agreement, the lessor has no right to earn the price difference. During the lease period, the principle of "user pays" shall be adhered to, and the electricity fee shall be settled and paid according to the actual electricity fee. If the differences are too great, both parties can apply for litigation. Report to the price bureau, the price of electricity needs to be approved by the price bureau, and any unit or individual is prohibited by law from charging other fees in the electricity bill. The landlord's practice is illegal, so you can complain to the power supply bureau.

Legal basis: Article 703 of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) is a lease contract in which the lessor delivers the leased property to the lessee for use and profit, and the lessee pays the rent. Article 704 The contents of a lease contract generally include terms such as the name, quantity, purpose, lease term, rent, payment term and method, and maintenance of the lease item. Article 708 The lessor shall deliver the lease item to the lessee in accordance with the contract, and keep the lease item in line with the agreed purpose during the lease period.
