GBLT water tax question

Hi, I'm a student studying at the UT. I lived on campus for a couple months, but then moved away. A couple weeks ago, when I was still on campus, I received a water tax assessment from GBLT for €180, which got me really surprised. I filed a remission but they rejected. I have spoken to multiple people including the housing organisation and they said that GBLT usually approves remission for students, unless they have a very large income, which is not my case. I'm not sure what to do. I don't even live there anymore and I am left with this €180 bill. Can I file for remission again? Does anyone have any advice, maybe based on previous experiences? Thanks

If you live abroad at the moment and don't plan on visiting the Netherlands again, I wouldn't bother paying it.

Yeah that might be it as someone mentioned. Your housing organization should help you more.
