Massive water bill

  • It's your bill and your name - you should have switched it. Never rely on someone else.

    Thank you however, having not rented before and coming from a country with no water rates I was unaware there were water bills. As I have said had I known this would not be a problem. I asked for the utilities companies details so I could switch to be advised that all bills I needed to pay would be transferred by the landlord. Which with electricity gas a direct tax etc did happen.

    Ah ok well I guess you know now. At least this should be a fixable issue. Good luck.

    Do you come from a country with free water, or just no water "rates"?
