Electricity bills and rental disputes - Wendy Knowler gives her expert advice
Can the municipality demand full immediate payment for
electricity usage they neglected to bill for during the previous two years? Can landlords and rental agents insist on a two-month
notice period, and when are landlords entitled to withhold deposits? These are among the issues listeners raised with Wendy
Knowler in this week’s Consumerwatch.
Unfortunately, it is quite common for home or business owners across the country to receive erroneous electricity and water from the municipality. Which is the case with a homeowner who needed consumer advice for a R25,000 electricity bill that he received from the municipality.
ECR Consumerwatch's Wendy Knowler sheds some light on this scenario, and others involving rental disputes, in this week’s Consumerwatch Q&A, live on Darren, Keri, & Sky.
