Ok here it goes. Last February we rented an apartment out
in the country its a townhouse us and our neighbors.Well we
have a well pump.Well we had got our electric bill and
noticed it was rather high well needless to say we fell
behind and got our electric shut off only to find out we
were paying for the water for the neighbors to use also.The
landlord never told us we had to pay for the other
tenants.In fact he told us it was our responsibility to
keep the power on so they could have water.Let alone these
neighbors are spiteful people they our noisy and when you
call the police on them they yell threats to keep the water
running.The pump has run dry twice now and they also had a
rather huge garden this past summer.The landlord said the
tenant should not be using the water for the garden well
summers done and so is the damamage on our electric bill.Im
tired of paying for someone else.The excuse I get from the
landlord is the other tenants pay for the light in the
driveway which I might add they park in my space and Im
parked in the dark.This well pump is a 220 line and you
should see our meter.Our elecric bill is 200. a month.They
have an older daughter who comes to take showers and wash
her clothes too.What can I do legally?
