I would guess that £4.00 a month would just about cover the freezer depending on its size and whether chest or upright. Lighting?? depends on what type of lights and how long they are used for! A kwh of electricity costs about 10-12 p in the UK.
You could ask him to put a sub-meter in to measure what he uses, then there would be no dispute.

In the uk electricity costs 10p per unit give or take a penny. This means a 100watt light bulb costs 1p per hour of use and as we are billed at 90 day intervals just 5 hrs use per day gives us a cost of £4.50 for that period, yes for 1 light bulb.

Electricity prices can be found at your electricity supplier. Different times of the year are charged different amounts and theres lots of different tariffs too, mine is about 9 pence in winter and 7 pence in summer per unit, but your landlord may be charging you not just for the electricity but space and maintenance fees too

Electrical rates, at least in the US, are on a system where the rate goes up when you use more than a certain amount. He may be using the top rate level while if that was the only use of electricity it would be a lower rate.

Actually his bill sounds about right. I gathered from the pound sign that you are in the UK. I live in the US but the utility companies work the same in both places. They charge per "killowatt-hour." Which is the amount of 1000 watts of juice for one hour. Say--ten 100W light bulbs burning for an hour. It should say on your electrical bill what your local KWH rate is. Mine is about 8 cents. I think one of those big freezers pulls about 1000 watts whent he compressor kicks in!
