That is why there is a monthly limit of consumption of eur 50 included in your monthly rent which covers your consumption of water, electricity, hot water and gas (where applicable). The onus and responsibility to help the planet and consume less energy, water and a/c is on you and your flatmates.
In the case that the utility bills are in the name of the building owner, only once we receive these bills, can we advise you if there has been any over consumption in utilities in the habitelle apartment you occupy during any month of your stay and we will calculate your share. This will be supported by the utility supplies bills that are metered for every apartment in the building.
Any consumption over and above your eur 50 allowance per month shall be deducted from your utility deposit or, in the case that this is not sufficient, you will need to top up your utility deposit to eur 150 or eur 200, depending on the length of your tenancy agreement. In the event that your utility deposit is not sufficient to cover your over consumption, then any amount owing shall be deducted from your booking deposit.
El encendido, uso y consumo del aire acondicionado está excluido del importe de CINCUENTA EUROS (€.- 50,00) mensuales. En caso de que se encienda y use el aire acondicionado en el apartamento en cualquier momento, el consumo y el costo del uso del aire acondicionado se dividirán en partes iguales entre las inquilinas que hayan ocupado habitaciones dentro de la propiedad. Es responsabilidad de los anquilinas acordar mutuamente si y cuándo encender y apagar el aire acondicionado dado que en algunas propiedades el aire acondicionado está centralizado y no se puede
encender o apagar en diferentes habitaciones de la propiedad. Hay ventiladores disponibles para alquilar en habitelle. Por favor, pregunte por los detalles.
In the event that your spending deposit is not sufficient to cover your excess consumption, any amount due will be deducted from your booking deposit or debited from your bank account via the signed direct debit.
The utility allowance is a monthly amount and is included in the rent you pay, and is pro-ratered for the number of days you occupy your room in the apartment.
