Speaker 1 (00:01):
Fleas Wood and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod Great things
are brewing? Is mcafe the perfect start to every day?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Welcome to a little bit of pond. I have got
a question. Oh shit, I've got a question.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
You know, when you move out of a house, when
you're renting your boy a house as well, when you
shift where you buy a house, you buy a house
and you move out whatever, when you're leaving a house behind,
and you bring up your power company and you say,
this is on your address and this is our move
out day, and this is the date we're moving out,
and they say okay, cool, and then you move out,
and then there might be a spot, like a two
week gap before the next person who moves in. Is like,
(00:36):
I would like power from Meridian or Rover over lover,
I would like.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Power from you.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Here is the address and here is the day I
move out. Now say there's two weeks in between. They
never turn the power off.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
No, it's free power.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yes, because when you move into a house and say,
like me, I've done it before with flats where I
have forgotten, I've forgotten to hook.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It up to the power to get powers order.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Yeah, there's always power there for a B.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yes, you don't.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Move and.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Don't you don't turn the power on.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
You don't get the power under your name until you
get a message saying the powers about to be cut off, right,
it would be that would be the best because this
is a friend of mine's moved out of this place,
and they when they moved out, they just cranked up everything.
So your heat pumps and everything. You know, they've got
to pay for that. They said, it's all like the
(01:33):
power they've moved into the new place. It's the same
power company, it's the same power account, and.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The who we ever owns that property will get the bill.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
No, they won't they because that's a that's free. So
they'll be like the landlord a bill, Will we win it?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, we've got our power.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, it's not my responsibility. I don't know who did that.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
That wasn't me.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
For a while.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I just think it's this gray area right where it's
just free power. So I'm looking online.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So deny everyone can be like a lot of posts
on like property property websites with landlords and then also
tenants asking these questions to like tendancy services. Tenancy services
say the landlord must pay for any utilities of bill
shared by different tenancies. Yeah, but that's not And then
other people are saying that in between tenants it's the landslord.
(02:19):
Landlord's responsibility for power.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Yeah, but I've never but you don't have an account
hooked up to their house.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, I know the power.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Company doesn't know that you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Are not there.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Or then who turns on the power in between God victor.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
But they just leave it going and it just redirects.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Like they come out and you'll be like, I'm taking
over this place to this day. They'll come and do
a reading yeap, or if they've got one of those
digital ones, they'll just tap into it and see what
it was.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Right, But if the house is empty, that's free power.
It is free.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
We come over in charge?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Can we come over and do like, let's put the
stuff on the dryer.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Delli's do you get bring a dry or sheets and Towns.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Hydraproducts.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
It's quickly it's a welding.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, yeah, ate up the hot tub.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Do you remember that time though I just hadn't noticed.
I hadn't got a powerball for eight months, and the
people next to me had hooked up to my meter
and I and I were paying for yours. They were
paying my power bell and I was paying no ones.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Did you have to pay back?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
And then I don't. I can't remember what happened there.
I had to get it sorted out by someone.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
But did you have to pay anything back? Because I
hate nine months of power to turn up all the while?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I think so? Or was I paying this? I can't remember.
It was like a right kerfuffle. I remember it was
the right kurfifle.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
But power companies a while.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I remember flatting once and saying I want to shut
down the power account. Yeah, and they were like, oh, okay,
what's the address? And I gave it to them. They're like,
we have no records of you being.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
On our power. Come like, when did you last get
a bill? I was like, I don't know. I just
thought we paid it automatically, yeah, like direct, but we weren't.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
We just weren't paying power. And I was like, I
was like, well, this is the address, and they said other, Look,
there's no record that you've we've ever hooked you guys up.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And you've ever been taking power from us?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
So who maybe you called a different company on?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No, we never got we never got We just walked.
So you've got free power, free power.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Why did you go through all your bank accounts and
it was.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
A flat accounted and power, and I assumed it was
a direct debit. And because we're all putting money.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
For it, always the money gone Callum.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
No, I wasn't on it's letting with Calum maybe maybe
so maybe it's extra spinning money.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Maybe that's why I offered.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Wildly from having their name on the accounts and the
but yeah, they just didn't have any record.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Of that sitting up like all of those things and
you move flats and stuff, it's.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
The Internet and then they have to come round and
you're like, and then where we had it when we
got out, when we moved into our house and they
drilled right through the very front of our house, forty
year old with the boards.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I was like, you could have put.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Anywhere in this house to put that box.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
The fiber installs of Courus, yeah, there was there was
a it.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Might have been on Instagram or Twitter. There was poor
Chorus installs of New.
Speaker 1 (05:07):

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Like I always go through the front door at our
last place, I gave them the address. I said, oh,
you'll be it'll be easy to spot because it's a renovation.
And so like the builders of tell you where you
want to And then the builder call me and he's like, oh,
do you know the chorus guys are just drilling a
hole in your neighbor's house. Yeah, and they had they're
just like bunged it, like they just had a concrete
drill and they.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Just put it through the side of the house. I
suppose I got lots of out there.
