While some of them may still be trying to gouge tenants, it's hard for them to stay under the radar if people start complaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their rate is the MEA/PEA rate about 4.7 b/kWh then they bill tennant at 9 to 10 B/kWh. Hand written receipts, so the difference is undisclosed income so no tax payable. A practice MFP should take on as one of their policies to stop. Its usually the lower income people that have to rent apartments. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be oriented for Australia, though they use a different design, it is certainly not the designed way as proven by the patent application the earth pin should be up ???? or is it the way to attach them to kill off condominium owners? ????
