Is the electricity charge for civil residence 1 yuan legal?

Whether it is legal to charge 1 yuan for residential electricity needs to be determined according to the electricity price standard of the local power bureau.

According to the national regulations, the electricity charge for residential buildings should follow the unified national electricity price policy, and the local government is responsible for formulating the implementation plan. If the electricity price stipulated by the landlord in the lease contract is higher than the standard of the local electric power bureau, then the clause about electricity price in the contract is invalid. Tenants who encounter such problems can complain to the relevant departments about the illegal behavior of the landlord according to the provisions of Articles 43 and 44 of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Electricity Law. If the electricity charge charged by the landlord exceeds the electricity price stipulated by the local electricity bureau, this behavior is illegal, and the tenant has the right to ask the landlord to charge according to the regular electricity price.

Electricity charge method:

1, residential electricity price ladder: according to the different electricity consumption, the electricity price is divided into several steps, and the higher the electricity consumption, the higher the electricity price may be;

2. Peak-valley time-of-use electricity price: according to different electricity consumption time, the electricity price is divided into peak time, normal time and trough time, and the electricity price is different in different time periods;

3. Seasonal electricity price: According to the seasonal changes, the electricity price may be adjusted, usually the summer electricity price will be higher than the winter electricity price;

4. Non-resident electricity price: the electricity price of non-residents such as industry and commerce is usually higher than that of residents;

5. Electricity price policy relief: For specific groups or industries, the government may implement electricity price relief policies.

To sum up, whether the electricity charge for private houses is legal depends on whether it conforms to the unified national electricity price policy and the local government's implementation plan. It is illegal to charge more than the standard of the local electric power bureau. Tenants can complain according to law and ask the landlord to charge according to the prescribed electricity price.
