Can I charge extra electricity costs retroactively?
Sending an invoice afterwards for electricity has weak legal standing if the guest did not know the price or maximum in advance, even if the amount itself seems reasonable. Whether it is permitted depends on the rules in your country and on the terms of the platform on which you rent, so verify this with a lawyer or industry association. If invoicing in advance does not work, then set the rules in the booking conditions that the guest can read before booking.
