Legal question

[transfattyacid]

I just found out that the wiring in the three apt building I live in is all screwy and that I've been paying part of the upstairs neighbor's electricity and vice versa. I haven't been able to confirm whether or not I'm paying anything else that I'm not supposed to. Can anyone give me any advice on what my course of action should be in rectifying

Was this a house, that was later converted to apartments? I ran this by my electrician boyfriend and he said

We talked to the tennent on the second floor and she told us that she would sometimes shut her power off if she was going to be gone for a couple of days and that the third floor tennent started complaining about her power going off. She also said she realized she was paying for third floor tennents washer and dryer usage. I don't know, but all of this seems very illegal on the landlords behalf. It also doesn't make sense that the second floor tennent (whose apt is smaller than ours) is paying for a large portion of our electric, is very frugal with her own usage and has bills that are half the size of ours. I guess I just want to know what the heck i'm paying for and don't feel it should be up to the tennents to fix the problem, but my landlord seems very reluctant to address the problem as he's already lied to me about it.

It is illegal for the landlord not to have proper wiring. Try asking .

And yes, it is a converted house. The word faulty was just a bad choice on my part.
