租屋必看!惨痛的租屋经验

to be fair, a lot of students like to rent house with bills included and then waste a lot of electricity. Most landlord prefer to exclude bills so students just use gas/electricity when it is needed (with good habit of switching heating and light off when not in their rooms) and it would be better for both parties.  Some dodgy landlord do something to the meter so bills are included but it is dangerous, electricity could be overloaded and accident prone to happen. As a landlord, I never like to include bills so normally students will build a good habit unless they don't care to have a big bill.  When accident does happen, I am sure the damage will cost more than £150 and the landlord will have to pay for the damage.  Will the students pay for the total damage?  I doubt about it. I am a landlord, I have bad experience of students caused damage to the house and even I deduct the deposit but it cost me 5 times to repair the house (even though I am not a dodgy landlord as I never like to alter the electricity meter)

a piece of advice, it is better to sign contract with the landlord not the '二房东'
