Post: Utility bill question

Posted by jd & jj on 4/14/08

We moved into a building with only one meter for gas &
electricity. There are two units in this building.
Because it's impossible to tell who is using how much
energy, our landlord gave us a fixed flat rate for the
energy used. On the lease agreement, this rate is
described as follows:

"...an amount of $150 is assessed..."

Now he wants to increase that amount by $100. Is he
entitled to do this? Our research shows that "assessing"
an amount is tantamount to fixing it.

Any help is appreciated.
