Hi ozak,

Question - I assume that current usage by room occupant is on separate db fuse? No two electrical outlet is shared otherwise would be hard to differentiate how much each one has used?

Kitchen usage could be shared but it would be disadvantageous if one use kitchen electrical appliance more than the other. Those who don't have to share that burden. Same goes with electric water heater.

Air conds are provided by you?
Anyway, you did a very big mistake here.
If I were you, I'll measure each appliance's maximum draw(set to lowest and blower speed at max) for 2 hours and take measurement. Like if 2 hours using 2 units, then 4 air conds will use 8 units for 2 hours. 1 day would be 48 units. 30 days will be 1440 units. The water heater, WM and others. Get the average out and calculate.
Then from there you set a price of a room rental, this can avoid your problem.

Nope, I never think of this. But my friend have this problem from people that rented his properties.
For me, if were to avoid any problems, water and electric meter I won't provide, simple. Only can't ask for high rental.

No slur intended bro. Ya I agree with that. Even if stated clearly that water and electricity is paid by tenant still there are cases that some don't pay. Now TNB has this Charge of Tenancy thing to reduce that burden. Think only work with new meters for up to 20 properties.
