Hi all,
We pay all the bills ourselves for the IP except the water bill as the tenant is supposed to pay the usage and we just pay the connection/service and sewerage costs.
When the bill comes in to the PM instead of proportioning the cost to each party, it appears we get charged the whole amount and then I have to chase up the PM to have tenant pay the usage which can take months.
When i queried why they do this they said they cannot split the bill.
We received another water bill recently which was considerably lower and the tenants have since moved out. I assumed that we had only paid the right amount but receiving the hard copy of the bill today we have again paid the whole amount with the tenants no longer in place.
Does this seem correct and should I have to keep chasing this up every 3 months when the bill comes in?
