IMPORTANT NEWS - INCREASE IN ENERGY PRICES
Dear students,
as you may have heard this information,
Czech energy prices have been setting new records recently.
It is very likely that at the end of your lease contract you will face arrears for energy, which were set for your actual current consumption. Therefore, to reduce this probability, you can do the following things:
- turn off the lights if you are not present in the apartment or in the particular room
- do not keep the heating (radiators) to the maximum if you are not present in the apartment, lower the thermostat to a smaller number when leaving the apartment
- arrange with the owner of the apartment to increase the deposit for energy
Note: be ready for the possibility that your apartment owners may contact you and will want to raise the monthly energy installment, to prevent arrears that might occur at the end of your rental contract.
