Does the property have the right to cut off electricity?

The property has the right to stop water and electricity, but only after repeated calls for property fees have failed. This is because after the owner buys a house, the property must perform its duties in accordance with the regulations, and the owner's rights and interests shall not be infringed at will. Water and electricity can be cut off without paying the property fee.

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

The property has the right to cut off water and electricity. At present, for the convenience of charge management, some property companies usually stipulate that property management fees and utilities are bundled. For tenants who refuse to pay property management fees, property companies usually take the means of cutting off water and electricity.

1. The property management company signs a property service contract with the owner, and the owner signs a water supply and power supply contract with the power supply bureau and water supply company. These are two parallel and independent legal relations.

2. Property management companies only maintain water supply and power supply equipment, not suppliers of water and electricity. The providers of water and electricity are water supply companies and power supply bureaus. According to the relevant provisions of China's civil code, the water supply and power supply between the owner and the water supply company and power supply bureau is a contractual relationship. The water supply company or power supply company has the right to stop water supply and power supply only if the owner has a contract agreement and state regulations.

As can be seen from the above, the property company provides property services, and water supply and power supply is the responsibility of the water supply department. It is definitely wrong for a property company to take such action by taking advantage of its work. If water and electricity are directly cut off, the property management company is wrong, because as a property management company, it should take the principle of maintaining the harmony of the community, and can help the owners who are in arrears to do ideological work through the industry Committee and neighborhood Committee to achieve the purpose of recovering property fees. If the owner refuses to pay the property fee without justifiable reasons, the property company can defend its rights through litigation.

3 as the owner, you can report to the local property management department, street offices, township people's governments, neighborhood committees, etc. If you can't handle it, you can defend your rights through litigation.

4. The other side of the water supply and power supply contract of the community owner is the water supply company and the power supply company. According to Articles 465 and 648 of the Civil Law, users of hydropower (i.e. owners of residential quarters) have the obligation to pay the utilities, while providers of hydropower (i.e. hydropower companies) have the obligation to supply hydropower according to the contract. According to Article 526 of the Civil Law, if the owner fails to fulfill the obligation to pay the water and electricity charges, the water supply and power supply company has the right to cut off the water and electricity.

5. If the water supply and power supply company entrusts the property company to collect the water and electricity charges, the property company can cut off the water and electricity for the owner in the name of the water supply department when the owner defaults on the water and electricity charges. If the power supply and water supply department does not entrust the property company to collect water and electricity charges, the property company, as a third party outside the water supply and power supply contract, certainly has no right to cut off water and electricity for the owner. If the property company cuts off water and electricity accordingly, causing losses to the owners, the damaged owners may investigate the tort liability of the property company.

Second, the responsibilities of the property management company

Property management companies should provide quality services for community owners and ensure everyone's personal safety when they collect property management fees. It is not easy to let strangers in and out of the community, patrol at night, ensure the normal operation of public facilities and equipment in the community, maintain the greening of the community, and let the community have a beautiful and comfortable environment.

Third, the property fee collection standard

Our property fee collection standards are divided into four standards: Grade I, Grade II, Grade III and Grade IV. However, the collection standards vary slightly from place to place, and the specific collection standards of property fees should be announced by the local price bureau. The charges for these four standards are about RMB/month. Square meters, RMB/month. Square meters, RMB/month. Square meters and RMB/month. Square meters (including taxes).

According to the regulations, even if the owner fails to pay the property fee according to the regulations, the property shall not stop water or even power without authorization. For any civil subject, once a house is purchased, it is necessary to pay the property fee in accordance with the regulations. If the property cannot continue to supply electricity and water due to weather and other reasons, the property also needs to inform the owner in advance.
