do u know the electricity charges different rate for every 100, how u want me to observe then? even if i get the reading so? end of the day do u know how much have i used? do u expect me to take the reading after i wake up every morning? dun forget they are using the same...

apparently, there is no settling this.
only was is to throw all of them in 1 room, lock it, fight till death, gladiator style.

Aiseh, ini simple maths also want people to teach meh?

Lets say total usage is 300 kWh, and you use 200 kWh, you pay the rate based on 300-100 kWh lah. Of course you cannot make your housemates pay the 100 kWh rage since you surpass the limit already. The couple go back hometown on weekends of course will use less electricity lah.

My god I think more and more you're the unreasonable housemates.
This!

u shall not seek any advice since u r unwilling listener. full stop

if u gip u get back.. u pay more bill, maybe they belanja u makan etc, normal ppl will be nice to whoever is nice to them, problem is who gonna start first... simple life skill, also TS fail

TS, you just tell them you only use "fan mode". so it didn't consume electricity like in "cool mode".

i don't know what mode are they using but we are using fan mode with 24 degrees. aircond same power as theirs..i guess the best way is to ask them to install their own meter...i'm more than fine to pay more.

no la. if you use fan mode, only got wind like the normal fan and your aircon won't cold. You just tell them you only use fan mode, so it don't consume too much electricity.

100 + 100 + 100 =  300

50 + 150 + 50 = 300

123 + 27 + 150 = 300

40 + 140 + 120 =  300

10 + 10 + 280 = 300


I believe TS describe her tenant, to what best i can conclude, as "unreasonable".

i think the best way is to ask landlord take away their remote control so fair enough to say they dun use aircond..but no, i suggested that to them but they refuse to do so because they still want to use aircond..what lar?

There is such thing as universal remote. Moreover, normally other remote still can be used if they are of the same brand.

By right and agreement, they have to pay equally (1/3) for they had agreed to the condition in the first place.

But if they are really that kiamsap, I guess the best way (other than moving out the house) is to install power meter at every power socket.

But I see new problem could arise from that.
If there are discrepancy between the total power meter reading and the monthly power statement, new dispute can arise.
It may be due to power leakage or it might be due to someone removing the power meter to use electricity unrecorded.

Unless the landlord are wiling to install power meter to measure power going to every room, there is no absolute way to measure who is using exactly how much.

Hi forumers,

I have no idea where else to post this except here..hope to seek for rational advises.

Here is the story...

I have just moved in a new condo unit and renting a master bedroom, together staying with my bf, a couple (renting the middle room) and another tenant for the small room. all 3 rooms are equipped with aircond. 
before i confirm to rent the room, i have asked the house owner if all the bills are equally shared and the owner said yes, everything share equally so no argument.
but when we received the current month electricity bill, it costs almost RM300, which the previous months only about Rm150-Rm170 but no one is occupying the master room for previous months.

the problem is the couple who occupying the middle room are not happy with the high utilities and claimed that my bf and i causes the hike of electricity usage. we only on the aircond at night as we are out for working during daytime.

so here is their reason for refusing to pay equal share of the bill.
- their aircond was not functioning for the past 2 weeks.
- we are staying in high floor so they feel cold most of the time therefore they didn't on the aircond.
- so at the end they only willing to pay the least and master room and the small room have to pay most of it because we use aircond frequently.
here's their calculation. RM300/4 - the couple in the middle room will pay for 1 portion, and the other 3 portions bared by me and the single tenant. 

btw, is that my problem that they don't want to use the aircond?
am i obligated to listen to their so-called reasons and pay more than what i'm supposed to? it was agreed that everything divides equally so am i the wrong one for not paying more than the divided amount?

i'm quite frustrated because it happened twice, the house i stayed previously and the current house. i don't understand why is it so hard to find nice housemates who are willing to talk nicely instead of yelling at ppl for those reasons which don't make any sense to me...

advise needed, am i the wrong one?

in my situation here, already talk properly, everything share, room price fixed, no matter go back hometown or what, electric water still need pay, since everyone oso have some time to go back hometown one, no need so troublesome to calculate.

last time mine went back Hometown 1 month they still ask me pay for electricity ....i on super duper fire

I ask the dude tell me why i need to pay he gave me a reason he need to on the light so no burglar. But explain to me how you only on the light i need to fork out a share of RM100 ....

2 months later they call me azzhole and kick me out of the house ....these are the thing owes need to face renting a place to stay
