Is it illegal for the property to stop water and power for no reason?

It is illegal for a property to stop water and electricity without reason. Property companies have management responsibilities and should ensure the basic living needs of owners.

Unreasonable water and power cuts in the property involve the owners' basic right to subsistence and the management responsibility of the property company. According to the "Regulations on Property Management", property service enterprises should carry out daily maintenance and repair of property facilities and equipment, be responsible for emergency maintenance, replacement and renewal, and ensure the normal operation of infrastructure such as water supply, power supply and gas supply. At the same time, Article 35 of the Property Law stipulates that property service enterprises shall protect the legitimate rights and interests of owners, earnestly perform public management functions, and shall not interfere with or restrict the normal production and life of owners. Therefore, it is illegal for the property to stop water and power for no reason. Owners can safeguard their legitimate rights and interests by complaining or reporting to the property management company, or they can complain and report to the relevant departments. At the same time, the owner can also ask the property management company to bear the corresponding liability for breach of contract and demand compensation for the losses caused by this behavior.

If the water and power outage of the property belongs to emergency repair or planned maintenance, can it be stopped? Yes, if the water supply and power failure of the property is due to emergency repair or planned maintenance, it can be stopped in accordance with relevant procedures and regulations. However, in this case, the property management company should inform the owners in advance and take necessary measures to protect the housing needs of the owners.

Unreasonable water supply and power failure of the property violates relevant laws and regulations, affecting the normal living and life of the owners. Owners should strengthen the supervision and evaluation of property management while safeguarding their own rights and interests, so as to promote property service enterprises to better fulfill their public management responsibilities.
