Why would a prospective landlord claim the electricity in their beautiful hou came with a 20% foreigner surcharge? And how could they get away with charging it if the bill went to the tenant?
I'm so very confused.

the house for rent that i am staying now, have power meter (galvanometer) private for each room. And how many number electric you spent available on it each month then charge. That is fair which LLord need to do for you.

It's the simple expat IQ test. The question is are you going to fail or pass ???

I think you've just been called out Atomic. I'm guessing you're a quicker draw than ol' Buffalo Bill here. Everyone else; run for your lives!
I am not calling anyone out. I just think Atomic is smart enough to fall for the "foreigner tax" scam.... but he is confused so I make him confused no more... I will

With Hippo on this one, Atomic is far too clued up to fall for this scam. Prob just fishing to see if there is any mugs out there ?

I think it's time for you to move out. I know some tenants don't have to pay it and surely you don't, neither.

Atomic, I would avoid anything that sounds fishy, most likely is. One apartment I had (5a Quoc Tu Giam) had the kind old landlady's electricity running off my meter. After months of trying to figure why my bill was so high, someone at my work asked if they could take a look at my meter (an electrical engineer) and sure enough, once we switched off the main power to the apartment the meter was still spinning. He was able to follow some of the wires back to her apartment on the top floor. Needless to say I moved out shortly after that. I think you should have the meter close to your apartment and be able to check the usage yourself. The amount per kilowatt(?) is different for commercial or residential in Hanoi and many landlords will try to charge the commercial rate when they get charge the residential rate.
