Unpaid water bills
Dear all. One in our network has just started a rental. It turns out the owner has unpaid water bills for almost 10 000 (!) euros. They do not have nie yet. They have paid the bills for the last months that are not theirs. However, these hugs bills are something they just learned about and the owner has now been informed the water will be turned off. This will happen before we get our nies. My question is; is it anything they can do? Since they have paid the last bills even, maybe they won’t turn it off? They are in no situation to pay the owners huge water bills from 2019. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
Ps i am asking as in other EU countries you are not allowed to turn off electricity or water when it can be proven the consumption /bills are not the current resider’s.
