I would not pay that and Abnb has a mediation link for disputes.

I used it before in my case the host wanted 5,000 b upfront for one month utilities.  When I left, she refused to answer my request for the final ut. bill. Abnb stepped in and I was eventually reimbursed approx. 2,000 b.

Nowadays, assume that everyone running a business is a potential scammer. A scammer will say, "Oh, I've lost the bills." I'd reply, "Nonsense! Every bill nowadays is a 'smart bill' and shows the number of units from the previous 6 months. A bill shows the tariff charge, so I can calculate the charge if you are unable to provide the invoices. Thank you for your help."

The owner of the R&B probably got a bill and then she just multiplies that by two so you’re actually paying twice as much as you should be paying TIT

The initial Electric meter reading has too many zeros to look convincing.

Did you take your own photos of both meters at time of move in?

Also on the legal side, did your AirBnB landlord submit a TM30 when you moved in. If so, did you apply for a TM90 after 3 months. If not, you're on more dodgy ground.

Just took a look at my move in Reading of my condo, Meter's look the same, ie model MF-33E.

So the right-hand column is ignored when taking a meter reading.

So from your 2 photos,  you've used 808 units. 

Not 100% sure, due to photo quality,  but Serial Numbers look the same, so implies the same meter.

I would definately ask for copies of the Juristic or PEA bills to confirm what they are reporting.

Also, the Landlord asking for $1750:00, which to me speaks irregularity, as it's another round number. Seems the Landlord might have a over ambitious rounding error!
