“Every month it’s the same issue,” exclaimed Ravi, a frustrated tenant living in a bustling urban neighborhood. “I get an inflated electricity bill, and I know for sure either the meter must be faulty or someone is tampering with it. And why should I pay for the common area electricity?”
On the other side of the dispute, Mr. Kumar, Ravi’s landlord, sighed heavily. “It’s physically stressful for me to visit my tenant’s house to check the electricity meter or receive bill payments. Plus, it hurts my eyes to manually read the meter! And if my tenant doesn’t pay on time, I end up paying late penalty charges. It’s my house, but I feel I have no control over my electricity and meter!”
This landlord-tenant battle over electricity bills is a familiar story. The root cause often lies in electricity meters, consumption monitoring, and the associated billing issues. Common tenant complaints include faulty meters, inaccurate readings, meters that have been tampered with, electricity theft, and charges for common area usage. Landlords, on the other hand, are burdened with the stress of manually checking the meter reading every month, late payments, and lack of control over the electricity meters.
