Dear Claudienne, I live overseas and I came to Jamaica and bought a house in Trelawny in September 2022. I rented the house from September 2022-June 2023.
The tenant moved out of the house. No one occupied the house for about six months after the tenant left. I went to the house once in August 2023.
In October 2023 I got a water bill from NWC [National Water Commission] for $202,000. November’s bill in that same year was about $15,000. No human had been at the property for six months.
