Does the property have the right to cut off water and electricity?

The property has no right to cut off water and electricity.

The contract between the property company and the owner is an agreement to provide property services, and there is a separate water supply and power supply contract between the owner's water supply and power supply units. According to the law, only the water supply and power supply company can suspend the service according to the procedure if the owner defaults on the water and electricity charges and fails to pay them after being urged. Therefore, even if the owner does not pay the property fee, the property company may not stop the water supply and power supply without authorization, which infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of the owner and the rights of the water supply and power supply company. If the property company violates it, it not only infringes on the rights and interests of the owners, but also may bear corresponding legal responsibilities.

Legal responsibility of property management:

1. Maintain public order and cleanliness in residential areas;

2. Manage and maintain the public facilities and public parts of the community;

3. Responsible for community security and fire safety;

4. Negotiate with the third party on public affairs on behalf of the owner and handle disputes;

5. Be responsible for collecting and managing property fees and other matters entrusted by the owners.

6. Perform the service and management responsibilities to the owner within the scope stipulated by law or contract.

To sum up, according to the law, the property company has no right to stop water supply, and the owner's water supply and power supply contract and property service contract are independent. The water supply and power supply company can legally stop the service only if the owner defaults on the water and electricity charges and the reminder is fruitless. The property company stops water supply and power supply without authorization, which not only infringes on the owner, but also infringes on the rights and interests of the water supply and power supply company, and the offender may bear legal responsibility.
