ELECTRICITY BILL
- 1. How are the Electricity Bill Charges calculated?
Electricity bills have different billing cycles for every property. People move in and move out on a daily basis therefore matching that to the exact billing date of the electricity bill makes it a complex process. To make it simple we only consider the billing month mentioned on the cycle and not the exact dates. The amount is split on a pro-rata basis their stay duration in that respective month.
- 2. Which electricity bill am I paying for in every Invoice?
Electricity bill amount is post-facto which means that the electricity bill is generated after usage of that particular month. We therefore add the charges to your invoice after receiving the same. For eg. The electricity bill for April is usually generated & delivered by May. We make the payments for the same on your behalf in May and then add it to your June month's Invoice and like wise. You therefore would be paying for electricity bills with a two month's gap.
- 3. What if the electricity bill is not generated when I vacate?
In that case the last 3 month's average will be used as a base to arrive at the amount which will be divided equally among all tenants to arrive at your share of the bill.
REFUNDS
- 1. What deductions will be there from the security deposit?
Once you vacate the property our staff will do a through exit inspection to ensure the house is handed over in the same state that it was given to you. Damages if any will be deducted from the security deposit. Also if there are any pending bills like electricity bills, penalties if any, will all be deducted from the security deposit only where applicable. Be assured there will not be any deductions unless any dues are payable. The deposit will be refunded in 3-5 weeks from the last day after peaceful handover of the property & keys.
- 2. I am a current tenant but I need to know now how much security deposit will be refunded when I exit?
The full & final payment calculation will happen only after the exit basis the exit inspection. Damages, Penalties & Pending Bills will be deducted if and where applicable. If there are no dues pending, the full deposit will be refunded in 3-5 weeks from the last day of stay. The final amount with the calculation will be emailed from our side on the same day as the refund.
SERVICES & COST
- 1. Why do I need to bear the maintenance cost of Water Purifier?
GetSetHome provides co-living spaces in a fully furnished apartment. We are not a PG or a hotel or a service apartment. Its simply your house on rent that you are sharing with other like minded people.
Minor repairs and day-to-day routine maintenance such as change of tube-lights/bulbs/CFL, DTH/TV/AC remote batteries, housing keeping consumables, garbage bag, soap, food, pest control, water purifier filter/candles/membrane changing, etc are all considered as a consumable and the same is NOT a part of our offering. Think of it as a house taken on rent from the landlord. The landlord gives you a house in a furnished state but thereon any consumable or repair is not the responsibility of the landlord. Also, when you vacate you need to handover the house to the landlord in exactly the same state as you had received it. It's the same concept whereby we are your landlords, friendly landlords :)

For any issues (except payment related) such as downtime or any other complaints related to Internet and DTH, tenants are expected to raise a complaint directly with the service provider as it requires remote trouble shooting. Your service provider contact details are available on tenant's dashboard.

We work with Empanelled vendors but skilled laborers like key makers, plumbers, carpenters, electricians don't usually give a bill.
