Hello room
I Have a duplex here in lekki which also has a 1bedroom flat in the same block for Rents

There’s a bathtub in every toilet including the 1bedroom flat I rented out

I decided to rent the 1bed room flat to this man. He’s a lawyer and he is married ,what I noticed is that his wife is jobless and she waste too much water
They use the bathtub everyday and that consume about 400litters *(2) =800 litters of water and also uses the washing machine daily
This bothers me because we are using the same prepaid meters and I am the one who pays the basic amount
He pays just 6k every month which this last bills was 34,600 naira for electricity

Before I got the tenant ,I pay just 6k-8k per month for electricity

I use to pump the storex twice in a week but now sometimes 2 times in a day
She washes and use the bath tube everyday , the machine and use other appliances

Please how do I caution this people since they moved in I paid for another prepaid meter and nothing is delivered till now

Madam or Oga.. the gradual increment in your electricity bill from average of 8k to 34k is not solely because of the careless way they consume electricity, recall early last year there was about 70% increment on electricity tarrif. This account to hike in electricity bill u get now, i.e your prepaid meter total monthly recharge

Secondly, let them understand the essence of electricity management because you r using prepaid meter. Explain in Details to them how to manage consumption n the benefits

Lastly n most importantly, since your bill varies month on month, don't ask them to pay any fix amount any longer. Let them pay like 25% or 1/4th of whatever you consume in a month.
This will make them conscious of it, and when you bill them less in a month you guys didn't consume much.
It will make them manage this so they pay less again

Please note before u demand for 25% monthly vending amount fr6 , please consider the appliances they are using vs yours so u won't cheat them. Fairness is virtue, i.made this base on information u gave not ascertaining if it's true or not

Meanwhile, u never made mention of air-conditioners
Is like u r d only one using A.C in the house?

What's your fu cking concern with the joblessness of the wife.
You own house in Lekki and no one would hear word again.
Do u know why the wife is jobless & has the husband come to complain to u?Do u know if she has a health condition that will make working difficult for her or if she has been trying to secure a job without success?
F ucking landlord priving into the private lives of his tenant!
If the water consumption is the issue take it up with the husband.You have concluded it's the wife's joblessness that is the reason she is using the bath-up excessively.
At worst you give them quit notice and get a tenant that would use the bath-up once a week!!

You dey mind this endtime landlord?
I just decided not to say anything so it won't look like I'm abusing him.

Amebo landlord,
It takes a JOBLESS Landlord to know a Jobless TENANT.

Bros I feel Ur pain.wish I'm in Lagos .the problem u are facing u believe u never used a consultant,Ur problem is very very avoidable.

1 Get a prepaid meter

2 Get a seperate tank for their flat

3 Ask an Electrician for a Knife switch very common,so when u get a prepaid meter,When Up is tenant,when down is u the landlord with the water pump common,so with that every body can pump water from their own meter.Getting a meter now very easy bro,abeg don't use d word joblessness again bro,d country is not easy.
Cheers

I doubt a water pump will consume that much power.
Its. 75hp or 1 hp. Max it will run for 45 minutes.

I don't see how that will impact on your nepa bill.

An ac is the greatest impact on nepa bill

Also it is the dry season. Baths are the only way some people can cool down.

Best solution would be to get a separate meter for the pumping machine alone.

get prepaid metre for the 1 bedroom. Give them the condition like, they pump one week while you pump the next two weeks by so doing you would have successfully divide the bill by 3 with them paying for 1 part.
Going by the above, your savings over a year would write off the cost of the metre and then you have successfully solve future problem and saved yourself from the current emotional torture.

Only 2 options ......

- Eviction
- Individual meter

Do they monitor what you use, you have no right to caution against usage. ...... ...

Ropostic120:
I have stayed in a house of one Jehovah witness man like that and he would always not allow me and my wife to use water very well by locking the main tap to the house. He said my wife was using too much water then. Water that God is giving to us free of charge.If God were to be a human being, meeeeeeeh wahala for Don kill us all.
Humans are just too wicked and confused especially we black race.

So if he is a Catholic man he will allow u to send him packing from Lagos because of your own excesses. I am once a tenant, when I noticed my co-tenant wastefulness, I bought my own Jeepee tank and pump when I need water.

Try and find a way to be independent and by dat time do anything u like with it.

The same way my neighbors here will be draining my water. I told them my borehole has an outlet bring your own generator and pump to your house. It become a problem for them. People just like free things not minding the cost on the other person.
Thank you.

is your tenant from ekiti?

Anyways the solution is simple, call for a brief meeting/orientation and make them understand ur pains, was in the same shoe as urs untill last week, i have to tell them i cant be their Jesus or Mohammed. Infact i had to sit dem down, loaded a prepaid and make them check the unit, after pumping we checked the unit again, we did the calculation together and make them realise the cost. One other boy squating with me will leave his light bulb and fan running and leave home till he returns in the evening. Now everyone understand the Maths.

Never rent your house to family, only to singles. This is one thing you will learn in a hard way, no one teaches that.

I don't like nosy landlords .call the guy to address this issue . The best way to solve that problem is by getting a separate meter for that guy or there is arrangement which some do with nepa where by the charge that separate house Along while the prepared is connected to you only . Lease with nepa they will get it done for you .

[quote author=Mrkumareze post=111676147]Remove the pumping machine from electricity, separate the tanks too. Whoever that needs water should pump his own tank using gen. If asked the reason, tell him the pump cost more power [/quote

Doing that will amount to CRIMINAL BREACH OF CONTRACT.
But,why are you people this wicked?

Are you even human at all
Do you even know maybe it's the Oga landlord consuming most of the electricity?

That is why I will never stay another year in a rented apartment,never again!
Wickedness Is a normal thing now among some people.

Put meter in his own apartment simple

no mind those land lord/lady.....the day i came home with my first car to where i stay, land lady became instantaneously jealous. She will deliberately move her car from her frontage to come park in the tiny path where every passes making it inconvenient for people to pass. What she wants to gain from that, we don't know. All that started immediately i got a car.

Lexusgs430:

Getting a separate tank is part of the solution and separate prepaid meter with an xor dual control.

It's well, just wait for the prepaid meter and connect the borehole to their own prepaid meter, in that way the husband will caution the wife to moderate the use of water and how she handles those appliances, those appliances really consumes voltage.

Looking at the present position, as it stands now .........

The property only got one prepaid meter today, new meter is still on order (not yet delivered).... Might not be delivered within 22 months........

So a separate tank, is never a solution...... Today ......

hmmmmm, what are you using that you are paying that amount of electricity?

vibbb:
Call a meeting and inform them about your plan to triple the service charge fees - Of cause they will lament about your intend plan but give them the option of cutting down on water/power usage. They will definitely change and amend - No body wants an additional chargers / billing this period.

I think you should take this advice

This is quite easy. No need to caution him. Show him past receipts when it was you alone and now. The difference will be his to pay. Also, this will put strain on your pumping machine, you may add a bit of service charge on it.

You can't control how people use water.

That is why water is in generous supply of all of GOD's creations.
Water and air, infinite supply!

Electric bills, I'm sorry, maybe you put the cart before the horse.
Get a prepaid meter.
"Be on the neck" of the "Nepa" officials till they deliver the meter.

Please do not listen to the advice of Landlords here who pump water for their tenants ONLY when theirs is finished. It is pure wickedness.
Very wicked. Why not get them a separate card meter or electricity line?

There are people who wear their clothes only once and wash it. They need water. Because they are neat people.

Should your tenants bathe with half bucket of water only?
Get a another prepaid meter for them!

It is simple.
Let them bear the burden of the cost of their water usage and pumping.

Man! Landlords and tenants should never leave in the same compound or share any amenities!

2special:
yes, it's free gift of nature, probably you don't know the rate pumping machine consume energy.

Stop this.
Get them a separate card meter.

Water should always be in abundant supply.
Water and air.

Get your tenants a separate card meter. Gosh!

Dear people, before you rent a house, try to find out what man made rules and controls are in place.

@ blackmamber
Send me the application number and the approval for the prepaid meter you already ordered for, I can help u finish the process of getting it, remember should get two Moore meters not one cos the tenant and the pumping machine will have separate meters.
