Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to check if anyone else has had this problem. I've just moved into an apartment in HCMC D7, and the agent wants me to pay electricity from the 11th September when they took the electricity meter reading. However I moved in on the 2nd October, and sent them electricity meter readings because it's always been normal to read the meter when you move in and pay from the start date of your contract.
She says the apartment has sat empty so it should be from the 11th. But this seems crazy to me. Why should I pay for the meter when repairmen and apartment viewings are taking place, and of course some electricity is going to be used.
I'm planning to ask to see the meter readings tomorrow, because I haven't seen them yet and don't know what the difference is. But I wanted any advice from anyone before I go into the office tomorrow. Is it an absolute clear cut answer? How do I argue this?
Thanks for your time
Claudia
