Is it legal to charge electricity for property price increase?

It is illegal to charge electricity for property price increase.

First, the determination of electricity price.

The electricity price is determined by the state or local government after comprehensively considering the supply and demand of the electricity market, power generation cost, environmental protection requirements and other factors. These price standards are aimed at ensuring the fairness and stability of the power market and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the vast number of power users.

Second, the responsibility and authority of the property

As a service provider, the property has the responsibility to ensure the normal operation of public facilities in a residential area or building and provide a safe and comfortable living environment for the owners. However, the property has no right to change the electricity price without authorization. They should collect electricity fees in strict accordance with the price standards set by the government and truthfully hand over the collected electricity fees to the power supply company.

Third, the problem of charging electricity for property price increases.

If the property collects electricity charges without authorization, it not only violates the government's price management regulations, but also infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of the owners. This kind of behavior may lead to the increase of the burden on the owners, and lead to contradictions and disputes between the owners and the property. In addition, charging electricity for property price increases may also breed corruption and damage social fairness and justice.

Fourth, the way of owners' rights protection

If the owner finds that the property is charged at a higher price, he can defend his rights through the following channels: first, he can question the property and ask it to show the legal basis for the charge; Secondly, you can complain to the relevant departments and seek help and support from the government; Finally, if negotiation fails to solve the problem, car owners can also safeguard their rights and interests through legal channels.

To sum up:

It is illegal to charge electricity for property price increase. Owners should know their rights and take appropriate measures to safeguard their rights. The government should also strengthen the supervision of property fees to ensure the fairness and stability of the electricity market.
