Issue Of NEPA Bill by olabisi99(f): 1:32pm On Jul 15, 2022
Hello house, I really don't know if this is the right section, is it right for people that are not around in the house to pay NEPA Bill for the month they were not around for or is it the people that are around that are suppose to pay. Because these people claim since they are not around for that month they are not going to pay the bill and I've been trying to explain to them that it's not about being around or not in as much as you are a tenant in the house, it is paramount you pay NEPA Bill. Please, is my view right or wrong?

You're right. They need to pay because even if its their flat and they travelled spent 8 months, NEPA will give them bill for the months too.

Talk to them responsibly.

If its estimated bill,you will pay.As long a house is occupied,NEPA assumes the house is occupied whether you are living in it or not.

We have paid NEPA bill even though we've been away for 8 mths .
Nigeria is a fraudelent country.

The individual should pay but whoever that is sharing the bills should be reasonable enough not to distribute it evenly ....

How can u pay light bill when u are not around.

Where is that done abi na jazz. U can't pay for what u didn't use at all.

U guys should re think this archaic method of billing people,here in my house,I use prepaid,but whenever I travel,everything goes off hence no billing.


Why should he or she be ask to pay...give your reasons?

We actually did one time but the NEPA officials said we would pay all outstanding bills on the meter even for those that have used the house before us( an outrageous amount) or else we won't be able to buy card fr recharging, so that's why we switched back to these direct.

Lol.... I get the fact that it's not easy paying fr what you didn't use but what choice do we have.... And it's not like that before oo. We actually pay without asking from those not around but the bills they brought now was something we needed to share amongst all members...

That's because you use prepaid which I think it's the best but in our case, they bring a bill 5000 and they tell us to pay, students are not around everybody is at home, only three people are around, how do you expect just three people to pay the bill. That is just what we are trying to explain to them

They should pay.. I know that it's always painful to pay what u did not use but there's nothing anyone can do about it except the prepaid meters as some people suggested ...

The house they were occupying,.. did they tell the landlord that since they weren't around for some specific month, they won't pay the rent for that month?

I don't know if air time service providers are still doing this but I used to know that when u recharge your airtime (as in Pay as you go),..it expires every month.. If u have 1300 worth of air time, and it expires, u don't go telling the customer service that why should they take your air time since u did not use it..

I speak based on facts and not hearsays. Getting a decent accommodation is tough and costly. So, your advice to her about leaving the house may not work.

Most houses in Lagos accumulate bills from previous tenants and the Landlords do not want to pay the money required to get prepaid meters.

@OP, try and convince the tenant to pay or you pay what you can afford.

I think it should be settled amicably if you have understanding neighbors. I have lived in an apartment where we were away for 1 year 3 months and on coming back we were asked to pay the NEPA bill. None of the neighbors agreed to move ground oooo based on its own estimated billing.

NEPA said if we had written to them officially to disconnect us within that period we wouldn't be in that mess.

We had the bills shared equally and paid. The landlord even collected security dues for that period with the argument that when we came back was our apartment robbed?

This is Nigeria, the unexpected sometimes happen. So for the people that were not around when you were enjoying the light, consider giving them lower bill.

You're clearly looking for accommodation in wrong environments. There are many places without any problems.

cheesy grin Nepa brings Bill whether you are home or not, you have to pay whether you are home or not.

Tenants know these, everybody does but some tenants always find a way to hook such on the landlord as if it's the fault of the landlord and not the Nigerian system

Prepaid meter stops all this rubbish

I don't know if you are from Pluto. Different posts have explained to you how Nepa charges estimated bills either you are around or not. The only conditions attached are the ones that have being explained above. You will pay as long as it was assumed a tenant lives there

Having similar problem with one of my tenants here, she has a POS business, she did not open for quite sometime,I was paying the bills, and when she resumed and PHCN brought another postpaid bill, she is claiming she can't pay for the period she did not open for business.
