Bunch of hypocrite is it today they are waking up to this fact?

Nigerians have been trampled on because this useless assumption and they keep doing it. I just hope with this new verdict now sanity will return.

Is there anyone who would normally inherit another person's bill?

Maybe Ozo would. Not me.

If NERC wants to show that they are working, they should focus on more relevant matters.

This particular matter is DOA. Only applies to dumb people.

Some landlords try to push it to other tenants o.

But once you know the law then you are good.

all these na lies.i once lived in an apartment,the bills for a year was more than my rent.nobody told me to park out.its rather unfortunate these guys are taking us for a ride

Truth. Mine we packed into a place that the former outstanding Bill was 90k,stayed for 2 yrs total but lived for 14mths cos we traveled for 8 mths yet they kept bringing bills #10k monthly to the apartment. The 14 mths we stayed light didn't come up to 1 mth total.good darkness for 9mths out of the 14 mths and 2hrs light daily for the remaining 5 mths.

Packing out landlord slammed us roughly #200k bill from phedc for light not up to a total of 1 mth. We paid 20k and left.

Pay #200k for light we didn't see.
God will punish them. Even the landlord now tried to foist the previous #90k on us.

That's good but not the real issue. Phcn guys will not reckon that a tenant is new. They reckon on the house and the amount owed by whoever. Their biz is not with whoever but with the outstanding bill. The law should mandate that they should not cut the power I'd a new tenant cones in. But that will reduce govt revenue as most will be lost. How do they do it abroad? Payback young... Simple. Install free card meters in all houses and the problem wi" be solved. FG, please be serious this time.

I hope they implement this and enforce it on the discos. Some houses have been disconnected for years because of the huge outstanding debt accumulated by the previous occupants. It's unfair that the new occupants have to be the ones to offset these debts before they can get reconnected.

What NERC is saying now is the house will remain disconnected till the Landlord pays the previous debt.

If there is an outstanding bill on a property, and a new occupant takes the place, they will insist the outstanding bill be cleared before electricity can be restored there.

https://twitter.com/NERCNG/status/1306294638756728832?s=19[/quote]There are so many things NERC needs to do to enforce justice and stability, amongst which is

1. They should take immediate action by creating a toll free number people can call to report any branch of a DISCO that was reported to have ordered disconnection of electricity of a tennant because they did not pay fictitious outstanding bills they dish out even when a house is disconnected from electricity.

2. The toll free number should also be used to receive calls from customers on any act of unprofessionalism displayed by any staff of a branch of a DISCO.

3. They should ensure that estimated billing is stopped when a house is disconnected for valid reasons.

4. They should enforce that law that stipulates that DISCOs must pay the customers daily for any house illegally disconnected.

5. They should enforce alternative cheaper measurements of actual usage of electricity in the absence of prepaid meter like the digital meter and both the tenant and DISCO staff must sign and agree that the reading by the DISCO staff is accurate.

There are. There are houses in Lagos whose landlords and existing tenants will tell you that's how it's done.

If there is an outstanding bill on a property, and a new occupant takes the place, they will insist the outstanding bill be cleared before electricity can be restored there.

The bone of contention I have with the DISCOS is not even about paying normal outstanding bills but the bills they kept creating during the period the house was disconnected, I know of a house in Abuja that was disconnected like over 15 years ago and no occupant in the building during this period in fact the house later collapsed and people she the place as a refuse dump site, and DISCO marketers and officer pass the house daily yet they refused to stop the billing, and I know of people who formally wrote DISCOs that they no longer need their electricity and that their estimated billing should stop but what they usually do is that they will not bring the bills to your door step but they will keep pilling it up in their office and await the day anyone comes that is interested in restoring the electricity to give the person the bills.

and while the house is disconnected they accumulate more debts from their never stopping estimated billing which is illegal when a house is disconnected.

Why making it seem like its a landlord versus tenant case, most times these landlords don't even live there, its more of a case between the new tenants and the disco, disco will insist new tenant should pay outstanding bills and they will disconnect the light that's not fair.

In some cases its the landlord that ends up wiping such debt, this is not fair on both the landlord and the new tenant.

There's around 300k in our apartment and we have trying to look for a way to sort it out, ekedc said we should bring 140k and they will do adjustment etc, and then get prepaid, the debt was not even owed by the previous tenant, it was the tenant before the last one, landlord that is abroad will now cough out 140k na wa.

The man was almost cursing the person that accumulated the debt.I felt his pain.

godwin2ng:
As a landlord, do u expect me to pay the bills of a former tenant that moved out my house? Anybody moving in will bear the cost.

Loool, I have been on both sides and honestly its not fair to both the landlord and the new tenant.

We had to cough out 40k owed by my mums previous tenant when they got prepaid, at least it was 40k not so much and the thing still pained my mum because it was someone else that owed it, we couldn't tell a new tenant to pay the 40k on new meter.

Now there's about 280- 300k in our own apartment , we won't be expected to pay it that's the range of a year rent. Our landlord is pained, the matter is not settled yet.

Its not fair to either of them.

Tenant didn't owe the bill
Landlord didn't owe the bill

Why should either of them pay?

All these is because of their estimated billing.

Who will show the NEPA bill? If you ask me NEPA I will tell you to go and come tomorrow....it means you ain't ready to rent house

So you can conveniently impose electricity debts on your new tenants? You will soon meet your match in a tenant. Dont worry.

Of course not. But challenge a Lagos landlord on this and get a quit notice.

Renting a new apartment, go to the discos serving the area and find out by giving them the address of the building and if you find out that the outstanding bill is on the high side, just get ur own prepaid meter. 4 weeks max. you can complete the process.
