Start with a short question. This guide’s topic is already in your message.
Match each meter to the right unit
Identify which meter serves the unit, the reference shown in the service record and the actual beneficiary. Ejar describes recording meter and beneficiary information for electricity and water during lease registration. Do not copy details from a neighbouring unit simply because it shares the building.
Compare the meter reference with the property and available documents. Flag shared meters or inconsistent numbers for clarification. Guessing a number to complete a request can make a later billing question harder to resolve.

Distinguish service charges from the transfer
Write down how each service will be charged and compare the agreement with the draft. Ejar’s guide describes fixed-amount and bill-payment information within the service details. A statement that electricity is the tenant’s responsibility does not explain every charging or transfer detail.
If the rent offer includes services in one total, ask what that total covers and how it appears in the contract. Keep questions about earlier bills separate from the new occupancy period. Do not assume previous amounts transfer or disappear without checking.
Review eligibility and the recorded result
For transfer to the tenant, the guide identifies the electricity meter location number, reading date and terms review as part of the eligibility process. It also describes an eligibility check and confirmation. Follow the current instructions for the specific utility and case.
Signing the lease alone should not be treated as proof that every linked meter procedure succeeded. Check the displayed result and accepted details. Retain any follow-up reference if further action is requested, and seek clarification before changing information or repeating an unclear attempt.
Record readings and review the first bill
Include readings and their date in the handover record. Where appropriate, take a meter photograph and label it with the unit reference. An unlabelled photograph may not identify which property it belongs to. Retain agreed notes on shared services and unresolved questions.
Check the service number, billing period and details on the first available bill against the recorded information. Gather the bill, reading and reference if something differs, then contact the appropriate channel. Your own record supports this review but does not replace provider records.
