Water and Electric bills included in accomodation?

Good day!

I just want to ask if the water and electric bill is included in the accommodation since the offer was accommodation is provided? In my offer letter they included electric allowance only specified in the job offer, so what does it mean? Do i need to pay for the electric and water bill on my own? Since the accommodation is the only they can provide?

Please help me...

Thank you very much...

water and electric bills are provided in your accomodation. your company will be the resposible to pay it. company cannot rent an accomodation if the water and electricity bill is not included in their contract with the owner of the house.

if water and electric bill are not included in your accomodation, that means you are not provided with accomodation. that means you are leaving out which is the company is giving you housing allowance and it's up to you look for an accomodation whether sharing or independent...

It depends. As per your agreement you will be the one paying the utility bills as you are getting an allowance. There are many Companies in Qatar who are paying the utility bills but they are not giving such allowances to their employees.

Thank you very much for clarification...

As you have signed the house agreement without w/e and as your company has agreed for electricity allowance, better discuss and clear the matter with your company. that's the only solution.

yes you will have to pay your monthly utility (w/e) bills as they give you electricity allowance... it's in your contract.. you signed it and there's nothing you can do about it but to abide with it...
