Summary
You sold your Johannesburg home, thought you were free from bills—then the city keeps sending you mail. Even with clearance certificates, many are stuck in a billing loop, including a journalist who’s still getting charges months after selling. New owners face absurd fees too—like a fourteen thousand rand electric bill for an illegal meter, despite proper paperwork. Legally, you’re off the hook post-transfer; paying could cost you refunds and headaches. The city’s system is sluggish, and new rules demand more effort from you to close accounts. Bottom line: keep records, call relentlessly, and never pay bills for a property you no longer own. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
