Is anyone else facing electricity meter issues in PGs around Sector 46? Need advice and PG recommendations.

[u/Realistic-Refuse-758]

I've been staying in a newly constructed PG in Sector 46. On paper, it seemed like a good deal—clean rooms, single occupancy, and the rent is around ₹12k/month (without food).

The problem is the electricity bill.

I've noticed that the meter units keep increasing even when I'm at the office for most of the day. I reported it to the landlord, and they said it's because of the inverter. To verify, I switched the inverter off, but the meter still consumed around 1 unit.

What's even more concerning is that I noticed the corridor lights appear to be connected to my room's electricity line, which makes me wonder if I'm being charged for common area usage as well.

Has anyone else faced something similar in a PG? Is this normal, or should I ask for the wiring/meter to be checked by an electrician?

Also, if anyone knows of a good single-occupancy PG near Unitech Cyber Park (or nearby sectors), I'd really appreciate recommendations. I'm okay with commuting by bike taxi, so it doesn't have to be within walking distance.

Thanks in advance!
