Yesterday, I called my landlord to set up the time when he would come to pick up the money to cover the light bill, we have a 60-40 split with the tenant downstairs and the bill is in the landlord's name, because that's how he wanted it.
When he saw that my brother moved in, he increased my percentage to 70-30 because I had an extra person.
But I have noticed that the girl downstairs has moved her boyfriend in, therefore, since I was hit with an increase, isn't it fair now that she has an extra person to decrease my percentage?
I told the landlord this last night, and he refused, saying I worked from home so I used more. This is WRONG and unfair - an extra person taking showers, using electricity, etc., they should pay for it.
Our lease was NEVER changed and we still have, in writing, the 60-40 split.
He has still NOT addressed how I would get my credit for the $440 I paid in oil, so I am owed $176. I don't want to give him NOTHING for this other bill, feel used.
