Electricity & Metering
Owner currently purchases approximately R4,000 electricity per month through the main meter.
Units 1 & 2 share a sub-meter.
Unit 3: Own sub-meter.
Unit 4: Own sub-meter.
Unit 5: Own sub-meter.
Tenant electricity usage is collected through Citiq Prepaid and refunded to the owner monthly.
This means the approximately R4,000 electricity purchase should not simply be treated as a R4,000 monthly operating expense, as tenant electricity payments are recovered/refunded.
Water
Water is currently included in the tenants' rent.
Each lease contains a clause allowing the owner to install prepaid water meters for the individual units.
A new owner therefore has the option of installing prepaid water meters, which could reduce the property's monthly running costs and place water consumption directly with the tenants.
