hello po, we are somewhat new to renting, i would like to ask if my landlord is being fair.

we moved in on May 16, pero the cut-off date for the water bill is on May 18.

Prior to moving in, we did not know that the water bill date billing is April 18 to May 18 and the bill states that we consumed only 1 cubic meter, but based on Maynilad's fixed rate for 0-10cubic meters, the bill is at minimum (187.xx) .

Though it is clear that the landlord said they didn’t use the water and there are no added reading from previous month. Should we be responsible to pay for the cut off within 3 days, even though we were not able to utilize the minimum cubic meters to be consumed?
