Lease Agreement

Print Imagine receiving your annual utility bill for your rented apartment. You’re expecting a small top-up of a few euros, but instead you’re hit with a sum almost equal to a month’s salary. When you ask for a detailed breakdown, the landlord casually waves you off: “It’s based on consumption.” You start wondering if you’re
