Thank you for bringing your query to our attention. We, at Afhco Property Management value your communication and take pride in attending to and resolving your query as speedily as possible.

Where the building is fitted with a heat pump(s) for hot water i.e. NO geysers are installed in individual units, the Tenant will be charged a heating charge each month, calculated by the amount of hot water consumed in kilolitres (KL), which shall be based on the sub-meter installed to measure the hot water for the Premises, by the tariff at the prevailing time.

The above is billed two months in arrears. For example, if a Lease commences on 1 January, consumption for January will only be billed in March; February will only be billed in April and so on. This is due to the fact that rent is billed in advance whereas electricity and water are billed in arrears, after being consumed. You will therefore not see a charge for electricity and water on the statement until month three (3) of the Lease. When the lease is terminated, regardless of which party terminates the lease, any amounts not yet billed for utilities used , will be deducted from the deposit or billed to the tenant if there was no deposit paid.

Should you need any further assistance or require any additional information, do not hesitate to contact us at ********** or telephonically on ***.

Best Regards,
