Two solutions: you raise the issue with the french administration....and don't be surprised if they have a go at you! Or consider yourself lucky and don't tell them, but if they have made a mistake and they notice later, they'll make you pay for it and probably with penalty. I've lived in France and to be honest...i've always had to pay my habitation tax even when i was on low income!

A friend of a friend tells me they don't come with a guarantee...and they cost a lot...or rather the upkeep of her family did and the cost of visiting her when she went home...

Assuming you're building on your primary residence, yes. The county code says that "Any additions, alterations or repairs to single-family residences performed by the property owner upon his own property, provided any addition or alteration shall not exceed 1,000 square feet or the square footage of the primary structure, whichever is less" are exempt. If you are not the owner, but are building it on a single-family residence, then the total cost must be under $5,000. Otherwise, no, you need a permit. The relevant section of the source below is 18.2

if you live in the uk you can call your local authority and speak to the land charges department. give them your address and they'll tell you whether there's a charge on your house.

This is very serious for you. Here is how I interpret the situation. I am taking all the information you gave in your question:\n\n1) one building\n\n2) one electric meter\n \n3) five tenants\n\n4) tenant # 1 lease agreement says the electric is included in rent payment.\n\n5) tenant #2 lease agreement says the electric is divided equally by the five tenants.\n\n6) tenant # 3 (which is you) lease agreement says you will pay 65% of the electric. \n\nYou don't say anything about the other 2 apartments. They must be vacant?\n\nNone of you have received a bill or note from the landlord in at least three months.(Jan. Feb. Mar.). You ask repeatedly and no response from the landlord. THEN you are presented a bill of $2647.00, which you are expected to pay within five days from the date you received it.\n\nYou then called the utility company and they said the bill for $2647.00 was for the entire, total building. You need a copy of the bill showing the specific addresses.\n\nIf I have all this straight it sounds to me like your landlord does not have a clue as to what he does. I will assume all of you have your copy of the leases stating what you signed and agreed to pay, right? Again, if I am correct, you have three choices here.\n1) Go to the landlord and state exactly what you did in your letter above. Ask if he thinks this is a fair deal and why did he do this to you?\n\n2) If you and the other two tenants have the signed leases you really have it made. Here's how: #1 is safe. Take the bill and divide it by five. #2 pays his portion. Since the bill is divided by the five tenants it must be assumed the other four (according to #2s lease) will pay in equal parts the remaining balance of the bill. It is not your fault #1 has his electric included in the rent. It is not your fault that there are two vacant units. SOOOOOOOOOOOO, Divide the$2647.00 by 5 = $529.40 per unit. Right? Now, you do your part and pay 65% of  $529.40= $344.11.  Makes sense, huh?\n\n3) This is the last one, get an attorney.\n\nActually I like my #2 the best. Think about that. I cannot believe I have spent all this time on one answer. I was really angry at the damn landlord. You had better let us know what happens.(me, at least)     MUCH LUCK!!!!

This will depend on where you live. I lived in Toronto Canada and had a problem with air conditioning not working. The units were advertised as air conditioned in all rooms. One did not work at all ,it doubled as a heater in winter. We had it running not knowing prior to our renting, it had been on fire! The compressor was no longer installed . Could have had another fire and lost my family. We found out for every month it was not working ( as long as it is stated as being included in lease, and you have put in the proper repair orders)they would have to back pay $50 per unit per month, and would be required to repair and keep in working order. If you get no where and qualify go see your community lawyers for advice. It really depends on location and laws for your area, hope that helps!\n\nMore~SECTION 118. Duties of landlord and tenant\n\nA landlord shall at all times during the tenancy: \nExcept in the case of a single-family residence, keep all common areas of his building, grounds, facilities and appurtenances in a dean, safe and sanitary condition; \nMake all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the tenant's dwelling unit and premises in a fit and habitable condition, \nMaintain in good and safe working order and condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and other facilities and appliances, including elevators, supplied or required to be supplied by him; \nExcept in the case of one-or two-family residences or where provided by a governmental entity, provide and maintain appropriate receptacles and conveniences for the removal of ashes, garbage, rubbish and other waste incidental to the occupancy of the dwelling unit and arrange for the frequent removal of such wastes; and \nExcept in the case of a single-family residence or where the service is supplied by direct and independently-metered utility connections to the dwelling unit, supply running water and reasonable amounts of hot water at all times and reasonable he-at.

I have a house cleaning business and I charge by the square foot. I have deep cleans which are done initially to get the house ready for a general clean. I charge 9 cents a square foot for a deep clean and 5 cents a square foot for a general.\n\n A general can be done weekly, bi weekly or monthly. Alot of people who clean houses charge by the hour but you cannot make any real money that way. Never tell the customer how you charge just say I charge by the job which is true. I have been doing this for a while and if you break it down I make between $25-35 an hour sometimes more. \n\nAlso a great thing to get into is office cleaning, it is much easier and you can make more money because even though you still charge by the sq foot you can clean an office quicker than a house.\n\nAnother thing I want to mention is people will call you for a move out clean you can charge 12 cents a sq foot for that because a move out clean consists of inside the appliances and cabinets and stuff. You don't have to do move outs just wanted to throw that in.\n\nYou have to be legit with a license and a company name though for people to pay that kind of money and you really have to know how to clean people are really picky. I hope this helps Good Luck!

I am a landlady, although in Oregon.  You signed a lease, which is a contract.  That contract is good for the time period specified in the lease.  Unless your boyfriend's mom AND the landlord/leasing company are both agreeable, you are stuck with the terms of the lease.  If they both agree to let you out of the terms of the lease, then they will need to put together a brand new contract in their names only, taking your name completely out of the picture.  As long as your name is on that lease, you are liable to pay - and a lease means that you are liable for money through the end of the lease.  My leases always give a dollar amount by the month, but also an amount that equals the amount for the entire term - if it's a one year lease, an amount equal to the amount that will be paid for that entire year.  In other words, you could be held liable for the balance of that amount if your boyfriend's mother moves out and doesn't pay, even if you're not living there at the time.

Ask advice from the college where the French young man will be studying. He is bound to make comparisons with what everyone else pays.\n\nThere are three elements to the charge. The rent of a room. The food consumed. The acting as a landlady/in loco parentis: cooking food, doing laundry and cleaning: the extra work he creates for her, I would think the charges respectively should be £60 a week, £30 a week, £30 a week as a minimum. \n\nThus £120 a week minimum and £150 a week would not be unreasonable.

charge depending on the size of the house and if you are using your own products.  A flat rate of around $50 is normally good.  Check out some of your competition, call maid services around your area and ask how much they would charge. Don't tell them your plan tho. Use that information to help you find a good price. It's hard to tell you what to charge, it depends on where you live and what the economic situation in your area is. Good luck tho!

Call the company and explain the situation.  They can often reverse the charge on your account when you correct the situation.  Most places are reasonable.

Talk to the CAB about the tenant rights. They will be able to give you the specifics, and they're free!

Yes and No...This would be one that all depends on the judge. In my opinion, she shouldn't have a case, because you were not present, and did not spend any of the electricity. but in the judges eyes, he might say, since you entered into the "roommate obligation" that your roommate depended on you to pay half of everything. this one is tricky. But I can tell you this, She'd spend more money taking you to court than the entire utility bill costs. So I'd say stick her with it, and move out. :)

only if you skip out on paying the rent, not move on time or if you damage things and she doesnt take care of the bill before they send a collection agency after her. So, bottom line... nothing will show unless you dont pay or take care of the place.
