Many older sectional title schemes were developed without separate meters for measuring the consumption of water and electricity.In these cases, the body corporate receives a bill from the local municipality or Eskom, as the case may be, and the costs are allocated to owners based on their participation quota. This method ties the expenses to the size or floor area of the owner’s unit rather than actual usage, resulting in inequities; for example, owners of larger units may pay more despite lower consumption, while owners of smaller units, who reside there full-time, may pay less despite higher usage.
