Thank you everyone for all your comments. We have a private contract with the landlord not a registered one, and it states we pay the electricity. We have no problem for paying what we consum but without our own meter we have to go by what he says is our part of the bill. We were away for 6 weeks and whilst we are happy to pay part of the standing charge we are not going to pay for electriciry we obviously did not use as we were not there. We will write to the landlord and try and get an agreement. He converted the property into two apartments and lives one below us.

My husband have been in a long term unfurnished rental since middle of August. The landlord gives us the electric bill which is in his name and he makes the assumptions on which part is ours. He is trying to charge us for electricity for the 6 week period when we were out of the country and expects us to pay half of the electric bill. We havea sked for our own meter but he refuses. He lives in the apartment below us and the two apartments are on the same meter. Any adivce would be greatly welcome
