Before you pay for a house that comes with both prepared or post paid Meter you should first get a copy of the bill or rechargeable card and verify the status of the meter. Now you paid for a house and started investigation, you are liable to pay the bill or you can move out. |

Openedheavens: Bribe NEPA official to connect power while bypassing the meter. Enjoy your light and let the bill accumulate for the landlord and next tenant . This is not cool but is surely the best way to treat a man like your landlord 1 Like 1 Share |

OP. Don’t listen to the people insulting you for not bribing the PHCN official. You did the right thing. This same thing happened to me last year and my landlord was proving difficult. I just paid the bill and removed it from his rent. From what I gathered, he was aware of the bypass. Just make sure you get a lawyer to write him and keep the receipts. You have no business paying a debt you didn’t acquire. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

wow! it is almost as if i wrote this piece, this is exactly what i experienced in my former house at abule egba, same response from the land lord that he has never lived in the house for a day....i didnt not pay the accumulated bills as nepa suggested, i just moved out....but since u just came ensure a direct connection and do not renew the rent that house is a problematic house |

Asquare84: In all sincerity sir answer these questions. Would you have reported to Nepa? Would you have refused paying the NEPA official money to fix it? What do you want us to tell him, that its not his fault? |

Openedheavens:Best measure? Ok, stay in darkness for a while, after that secretly remove the meter and report to NEPA and your landlord that it’s been stolen. After a while, connect back on direct and be religiously paying LOR every month till you leave the house. 1 Like 1 Share |

DO NOT BRIBE PHCN OFFICIAL. I REPEAT, DO NOT BRIBE. THEY WILL KEEP COMING AND YOU WILL KEEP PAYING. This happened to me too, but to solve this, you need your landlord's cooperation, or else, there might be nothing you can do. PHCN deducts 40% from debts accrued from old meter. Since former occupants were responsible for the debts, your landlord will be paying the 40% Everytime you want to recharge. Unless he writes an official letter to PHCN on how he will be paying back every month, he can pay as low as 2,000naira for a period of 3years. Involve a lawyer and three of you should sit down and reach an agreement. It happened to me too but we did this and my landlady drops 40% of every monthly recharge. The 40% goes to the debts from previous debts. I hope this helps.. do not bribe any NEPA official..they are rogues!!! 5 Likes 1 Share |

1. I am not aware that a debt on an analog meter can be transferred to a digital prepaid meter. (I suspect foul play by the nepa official) 2. You are not liable to pay a debt incurred by another consumer. Since the landlord failed to ensure that the terms of the lease which should include not tampering with the meter are adhered to. Then he is liable. 3. Write a letter to your distribution company detailing everything and copy consumer protection agency. 1 Like 1 Share |

The problem with some people is that they are yet to come to terms with reality of happenings in Nigeria. Did you just come back to Nigeria or what? We don't follow due process here. What you should have done was to pretend as if you're not enjoying light until someone comes to knock on your door. While doing that, just prepare your mind to move away from the house once your rent expires. But nope, you want to form patriotic citizen. Now see where your patriotism has led you? This is a typical case of "ysnga de sleep, trouble go wake am." Well, you have three options 1. Move away from the house 2. Continue using your generator 3. Go and clear the debt. Next time, you'll learn to let the sleeping dog lie. 3 Likes 1 Share |
