For quite some time we have been paying a lot more than we should for gas, due to a leak on the property – you can smell it but not see it at a point near the front entrance to a block of 6 flats.
We have been pointing this out at every inspection for some years but until a recent renovation to one of the flats, it went ignored and ‘undetected’. My latest gas bill says our 2 bed flat with 2 occupiers is using the equivalent of a 5 bed household. How can I claim some of the cost of the leaking gas back? Do I have any solid recourse or is it a case of ask and see? Thank you Jimmy-T, I love this site and the column.

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
