Hi,
If my flatmates go away on holiday, does this mean they shouldn't have to pay for expenses they've agreed to pay in the contract? I realise they won't be using power, water, broadband here so they shouldn't have to pay while they're away but I wanted to make sure because I'm getting different answers from people and need to be clear on this. My flatmates said they'll pay the rent while they're away which is protocol, just wondering about expenses:
Power bill - Flatmates shouldn't have to pay because they won't be here to use it
Water bill - Flatmates shouldn't have to pay because they won't be here to use it
Broadband/Phone rental combined - Fixed contract - unlimited broadband plan - Should flatmates that go away have to pay something towards the broadband bill because it's a fixed contract? I've had different advice for this one. It's not based on usage and it's a one-set fee each month. Otherwise, I have to foot the entire bill. Just need to be clear on this in case I'm wrong about it.
Even if the power and water bill will be used less while the flatmates are away, there's still a line rental/minimum charge. These bills won't hit rock bottom just because less people are here to use them.
Cheers
Simon
