A little help please (on behalf of my renting brother!)

I'm just looking for a bit of advice for my brother. He's just moved into a flat and is having a few problems with the electricity. I'm a bit sketchy on the details but I'll try to fill you in as best as I can. Basically, he's in a flat above a funeral parlour (rather him than me!!) and when he was talking to the agents…

My friend pays the landlord approx £10 a month for electricity, it's £40 for four of them. I do not know how that works as the landlord has got a cafe downstairs. I told her as long as it is only £10 that's fine, she also pays him cash every month. Sounds dodgy to me.

£160 a month year round for what size of property? One four bedroom place or four one bedroom places?
