My landlord split electric between three units, and wanted my name on my bill. Cool, done. November 1st, name on electric. Nov 7th, prorated bill for $11. 7 days of electric for 11 dollars, more than happy. 25th I open ameren to see a $320 predicted bill, which had already climbed up to $178. Ameren can confirm that my kw usage jumped drastically from the 12-13th, from 30 to 220 instantly and growing from there. The only other insight that Ameren can give me is my daily usage, most of which is from 8pm-5am. Landlord is saying that it’s “my usage my problem”. Ameren says they can’t help until i’ve been with them for a couple more months. Shoot I don’t own large appliances and my hvac hasn’t been on since august. Can anyone who had had a similar predicament point me in the right direction? I don’t want electric shut off but i sure don’t want to be paying someone else’s bills. tia for reading my mess !!!!!!!!!! ~ UPDATE in conclusion, NOTHING was ever split. I assume they thought i wouldn’t notice and would simply pay the bill. Someone came out on the 2nd of December to actually split. They claim they will “credit” half of the bill to my ledger? okay what does that mean. I asked for 65 percent, as even ameren dashboard shows 200 less kw usage a day since the 2nd. Hopefully I don’t have to take this to court. Speaking of court, trying to move out this year might take me there. READ YOUR LEASE YALL:)
