I really rolled my eyes this morning when i received an email from my tenant saying she was deducting $15 from her water bill as she thinks the intermittent use of a skill saw for a small deck repair over 2 hours jumped up her power bill. Here is the email, the names have been changed to protect the innocent :
Dear "Fool Landlord",
Thanking you for taking care of all the maintenance and repair work at 666 Dr Who Drive.
The frontage of the house looks much better now. Apologies for the late payment of last months watercare bill of $50.01, which i transferred today.
Also from the current watercare bill which is due on the 26th of this month, i have deducted $15.00 for the usage of electricity during the maintenance/repair work and have transferred you the rest. My electricity bill was higher than usual.
If you have any questions please email me or call me during the day.
Kindest regards
The Loving Tenant
