Is it legal for the property to stop water and power and not pay the property fee?

It is illegal for property owners to cut off water and electricity without permission, but it is also illegal not to pay property fees.

The owner and the property management company are equal civil subjects, and both parties shall perform their respective obligations in accordance with the contract. If either party breaches the contract, it shall bear corresponding liabilities for breach of contract. If the owner fails to pay the property fee in time, he shall bear legal responsibility. Property companies have the right to require owners to pay property fees and bear certain liquidated damages.

But the property company has no right to take measures to cut off water and electricity. According to Article 45 of the Property Management Regulations, water supply, power supply, gas supply, heating, communication, cable TV and other units within the property management area shall charge relevant fees to the end users. If the owner signs a contract with the water supply and power supply company and pays the corresponding fees to the water supply and power supply company, the water supply and power supply company shall supply water and power. The property company is not a party to the water supply and power supply contract and has no right to interrupt the water supply and power supply to the owner without authorization.

On the other hand, the parties to the water supply contract are the owner and the water supply company; The parties to a property management contract are the owner and the property management company, which have different legal relations. The right to stop water and power supply is an important defense right for water supply and power supply enterprises to perform contracts. The property management company is not a water supply and power supply company in the community, so it naturally does not enjoy the right of water supply and power supply.
