Can I sue the property if I am trapped in the elevator due to power failure?

Legal analysis: It depends. If there is a sudden power outage and people are trapped in the elevator, as long as the property management company takes proper measures, it is not responsible. If the measures taken are not timely and appropriate, the property will still be responsible for the accident. Property management enterprises shall assist in the safety work within the property management area. When a safety accident occurs, the property management enterprise shall, while taking emergency measures to assist the rescue work, report to the relevant administrative departments in a timely manner. Property management enterprises shall abide by the relevant provisions of the state when hiring security personnel. Security personnel shall perform their duties in maintaining public order in the property management area and shall not infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of citizens.

Legal basis: Article 285 of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), a realty service enterprise or other manager shall, on the entrustment of the owner and in accordance with the provisions of the third part of this Law on realty service contracts, manage the buildings and their ancillary facilities within the building division, accept the supervision of the owner, and promptly answer the owner's inquiries about realty service. Property service enterprises or other managers shall implement emergency measures and other management measures implemented by the government according to law, and actively cooperate with relevant work.
