Bills Inclusive Policy
Here at GLC Student Properties all our tenancies come inclusive of bill so there are no hidden costs. There is however a fair and acceptable usage policy, if you exceed the limits, or interim meter readings indicate that usage will exceed the limits at the end of the tenancy, then GLC Student Properties as the landlord is entitled to levy a supplemental charge to obtain reimbursement for the excess usage (as stated at the bottom of page 1 of our Tenancy Agreement). It is very rare for GLC to have to levy any charges.
Gas and Electricity
The maximum usage allowed per annum is shown below. If your contract duration is less than a year, these figures will apply on a pro-rata basis.
Water and Sewerage
For metered homes in Wales, the maximum usage allowed for 1 to 5 bed houses is 160 cubic meters of water and 160 cubic meters of sewerage per annum. For each additional bedroom above 5, your allowance increases by 20 cubic meters of water and 20 cubic meters of sewerage per annum.
