Hi All
I have previously written on this forum as I have had problems with flooding that has not yet been rectified, I believe from the PM the cost is $2500.00 to replace the carpet.
I have today received a text message saying I owe $2587.00 in water arrears which is overdue and to pay immediately.
I have been in this rental property for over 8 years, and have never received an invoice for any water usage – just looked at the agreement, clauses note landlord agrees to pay for water other than than excess water – then there is another clause for other additional terms:
Tenant agrees to pay for all water used during the term of the agreement (in additional to any excess water for which the tenant has agreed to pay where the charge for the water is calculated according to the metered amount of water consumed and there is no minimum rate chargeable.
I have tried to discuss some repayment from the landlord on the $1k I paid to clean up the carpet after flooding despite it being my washing machine, the drain in the wet area has a basin welded over top of it so it was not accessible when my washing machine did fllood – I got told from the PM that I am being unreasonable and it was my problem – now I get this text message that I owe this money.
Does anyone have any advice – I have
a) never received any invoices in the last 8 – 9 years
b) never had a water meter reading that I am aware of
Do I request all invoices – or what do I do??
Thanks
Molly
