if the justification is "amount not that much right", why not the landlord pay for electricity or water?

constructive responses appreciated.

people rent for a reason.

i concur and agree.

anything with regards to the property is bourne by the owner while tenant is responsible for perishables and consumables.
eg. maintenance fees, sinking fees, insurance, assessment, quit rent - owner

the grey area for me is damages and repairs to the unit.
eg. faulty pipes, taps, lighting points, lights, etc.

for iwk, i automatically increased rm8 per month in their rental as iwk payment.
and i tell them i will collect and pay on behalf.
