The bill claimed 361,000 liters of water usage, which they say is impossible without anyone living there.

This isn’t an isolated case: other residents have faced similar billing issues with Wyse Meter since 2019. For students already struggling with high housing costs and limited options, this unexpected charge feels like another unfair burden — and raises serious questions about how these companies treat young people trying to make it through school.
