The only issue I had was that there was an amount on my account, and I talked to DEWA personally, shoved from desk to desk over 2 days, and finally a guy just decided to cancel it on his computer. I told them the meters were not even installed in the dates when I got the bill, even though I really had running water and electricity. I used very little of it, since I didn't live there, but the bill was stupidly high.

But technically, you shouldn't have to pay it at all. I had already transferred the DEWA account to my tenant, and I only found out about this prior bill when I went to pick up my security deposit 2 months later.
