Is it possible to cut off electricity and water for illegally renovated properties?

Renovation of illegal properties can not be cut off from water and electricity. The providers of water and electricity are water supply companies and power supply bureaus. Only the water supply company and the power supply bureau have the right to terminate the water supply and power supply through legal procedures, and the property enterprise has no right to stop the water supply and power supply to the owners without agreement in the contract.

How to solve illegal decoration?

If the illegal building of the residential property owner damages the legitimate interests of other owners, then according to the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, the injured party may require it to dismantle the illegal building and compensate for its own losses. In addition, the property company also has the right to ask the owners to dismantle illegal buildings. If the owner refuses to dismantle it, the community owners' committee can file a civil lawsuit.

According to Article 233 of the Civil Law, if the property right is infringed, the obligee can solve it through conciliation, mediation, arbitration and litigation.

According to Article 279 of the Civil Code, the owner shall not change the house into a business house in violation of laws, regulations and management regulations. If the owner changes the house into a business house, in addition to complying with laws, regulations and management regulations, it shall also be unanimously agreed by the interested owners.

To sum up, the owner's decoration is illegal, and it is not possible to require the forced demolition of the property by means of water supply and power failure. However, if illegal construction damages the legitimate interests of other owners, the damaged owners may sue for the demolition of illegal construction.
