Why Prepaid Electricity & Other Utilities?

In a complex, utilities are usually billed on a bulk basis by Eskom/Municipal supplier, up to 2 months after the utilities were used.

Each individual unit is billed in arrears for its individual consumption as per the manual readings taken on the unit’s dedicated post-paid meter. Each owner is liable for their portion of the utilities used.

Increasingly, complexes are faced with the very real problem of late or non-payment by owners/residents, causing significant cash flow problems for the complex, resulting in funds allocated for security, operation expenses and maintenance, being used for utility payments.

If the funds are not promptly recovered from non-paying owners/residents, it can create a financial strain on the complex. This means that the complex’s overall financial position may be negatively impacted.

Prepaid utilities are a system where funds are collected in advance from the owner or resident to cover the cost of utilities. This arrangement ensures that the scheme has sufficient funds to pay the utility bills in full without having to rely on other scheme funds. By collecting payments ahead of time, the scheme can effectively manage and allocate funds specifically for utility expenses, preventing the need to dip into other funds intended for different purposes.
