Landlord rented me a house as residential, but commercial zoned

Lee Miller
Posted

I am a tenant in florida. I rented a house under a residential lease about a month ago, When I got my first electric bill I was charged for a commercial electric deposit of $460 and not my usual residential deposit being transferred over, even though my family went through the whole residential lease process and not once was ever informed of any commercial leasing or zoning aspects. We just rented it as a residential house. Im still not sure how this house is zoned. Should I go to the electric company and see if they just wrongfully are charging me this or is the landlord illegally renting me a commercial zoned house as residential, and who is responsible for paying the commercial zoning electric deposit even though we were always under the impression this was a residential lease? Thanks for any advice
