Included in my monthly fee is the cell phone service for the wireless connectivity fee (so no one has to go to the property to read meters).  

Whats nice is that there are NO balconies so people arent outside on the balcony talking loudly on their cell phones.

I ended my contract with AT&T cell phone and internet and uverse.

ok thanks.wondering if its legal to require a deposit for what could be construed as a device prescribed to cope with a disability..

Just wanted to add that my repairmen are fine with me giving them the tenant's cell and will call the tenant directly to schedule a time to go out (understanding it should be normal rate hours, not emergency).         

The only benefit I get where I live, is that the landlord can't charge me a pet deposit, because my dog is equal to a medical device, like a wheelchair - she's not legally a "pet."  

I can't negotiate with the cell phone co.

I believe it was things like group internet.But adding cell towers to increase income, or getting group discounts to help lower expenses, can help the hard working but low income folks have a good clean and safe place to live at an affordable cost.You can't help someone who is not ready or willing to be helped.

If it is a cell number, try a text and call.Not excusing the lack of responsiveness, but part of the problem is this information is very urgent for you, but not a high priority for the previous landlord.
