Gas bill

[Julia J]

Hi Everybody,

I own a small building with 5 units and I pay all the utilities except electricity. The gas bill increased over the winter but doubled for the month of February. I suspect some of the tenants (I had some problems with them before) kept the heat up just to increse the bill.

I didn't have the building last winter so I don't have any data to compare this year's bills with.

I want to tell them but I don't really know how and it is something that can't be proved.

Is there a way to give them a warning (to all units) within the legal limits and also something they would care about? Like raising their rent?

It is very frustrating and they know there is nothing I can do about it. Or I'm being really paranoid which is also scary.

Thank you

This is the best one. I evicted a lady and left the court house where she gave me the keys. I drove over to the house to check on it to only find all the windows open in the middle of winter. The gas was still in her name. She really got me didn't she. LOL!
