Sounds like the one building also hasn't had the electric separated; each unit should be individually metered, and a breaker panel for each put into place and electric separated for each unit; there should also be a "house" meter and panel for the landlord to pay for common area electric (such as public lighting around the property).One other thing.

Typically arises when a landlord has a building with a common area that has lighting, such as a foyer or hallway, but the wiring for that lighting is connected to a tenant’s electric panel and meter; it can also be something that consumes even more energy such as a laundry area that is available for all tenants in a building but the wiring goes to a single tenant’s electric panel and meter.That is why when utilities get separated in a building that the owner needs to realize that an extra panel and meter must be installed for the common areas, with billing for that common area meter going to the landlord.Some BP links that discuss this a bit more:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/84/topics/75044-installing-common-area-electric-in-a-3-4-unithttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/107306-triplex-without-seperate-utilitieshttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/72185-water-sewer-bill---what-to-do-with-it?
