Prepaid electricity offers so many benefits to both landlords as well as tenants. As a tenant, you will have control over your spending, while landlords won’t have to struggle with electricity bills being left unpaid at the end of the month. But the best benefits of all is that you can buy prepaid electricity from your mobile phone or internet banking.
By using a prepaid electricity meter landlords don’t have to worry about tenants leaving their electricity account unpaid, and thereby creating more problems for them as a property owner. You won’t have to worry about the municipality guessing how much of usage was for the month, as you can see how many units you use every day with your prepaid meter.
