Can I not pay the working capital of water and electricity?

Legal analysis: the law stipulates that the property shall not charge the owner any extra fees, such as handling fees, and the working capital of water and electricity does not belong to handling fees, so it may not be paid.

Legal basis: Article 44 of the Regulations on Property Management. Within the property management area, water supply, power supply, gas supply, heating, communication, cable TV and other units shall charge relevant fees to the end users.

The realty service enterprise shall not charge additional fees such as handling fees to the owners if it accepts the entrusted collection of money.
