Hey folks, here's a story, seeking your opinion here.
Sounds trivia, but the story's about ermm...electricity usage.
I've been renting for a while with this family here at Tampines. For almost the past one year, I'm seldom at home.
Day time at work, OTs and outings in the evening, and I return to KL almost every two weeks consistently to see my family.
2 weeks back, I purchased a gaming laptop and as you might have guess, I've been hiding at home gaming away in the evenings and weekends...with some extended usage in throughout the midnight and the AM hours. But of course, I still go back every two weeks to see my family.
The landlord now is seeking compensation for the additional electricity that I'm using. Is this common practice?

This is my second year. My first year here I use more often coz hotter (placebo?
Anyway... This way I'm already using a lot less... If they come and jump I take the contract show them lo...
I believe the utilities part should be listed under your contract. Check the contract and see? I believe is only writing about AC usage and Washing Machine usage. The most is say... Don't keep the lights on when you're out that sort of thing.
Another way... You can try do the calculation for them for your gaming laptop. Gaming laptop I believe your adaptor max out 120W. Give 20% power loss, 150W. 1kWh = 6.67hours x 150Wh Take 1kWh PUB charge $0.3 (not sure about this rate but about there la... inclusive GST). It costs $0.3 for you to play your laptop for 6.67 hours. If you play 6 hours per day for 30 days a month, only $9...
How to charge?
