I was subletting a room in 2b flat with flatmate ‘A’. I left sublet end of March, but because the bills were in another old flatmates name (so not ‘A’), only just sorting out now.
For starters I have had to chase flatmate ‘A’ 3 times about getting my deposit (2.5 months late in returning whilst he received full amount from landlord), but kept saying he’d prefer to sort out bills first before returning my half of deposit). Fair enough to sort out bills first but he has delayed things, and could’ve chased old flatmate earlier. Still don’t have my deposit
He’s now sent breakdown of bills and noticed he’s included TV licence. I didn’t have a TV! I never watched the flatmates TV alone, but sometimes we’d have dinner together with TV on in background (but because he chose to watch it not me!). TV licence is also paid as a household not per person, and it’s £14.54 for one licence a month, so surely should be halved. Also it was never even mentioned as a bill before agreeing to sublet, and I’ve never paid it for in other sublets.
Also does wifi share seem bit high? 2 bed share and the wifi plan is £68 a month or £34 each? (I never paid that much in other places).
I know they were with Virgin but funnily enough I’m currently with Virgin on a £29.99 plan so £15 halved. I even looked up Virgin wifi prices using the sublet postcode and the more expensive deals are including TV/ sky sports which I never watched or requested.
Or am I being super rude and petty to mention it, I worry I’m being biased after the delays in my deposit
