Can landlord charge me utility without giving me utility bills?
Yes. In a condo, utilities may not be metered per unit. This is the same for a property I own, where I rent out the cottage (effectively, a small mother in law unit, in a detached building). The issue is that on an apportioned bill, where there is no separate metering to the provider, the apportionment is usually based on the total bill. Which means that the residents of all the units together would tend to push up the residential tiering price. To avoid this, usually the condo association will negotiate a rate as a commercial property with the utility companies, and then do a monthly flat deal, so that the same amount is paid each month to each utility. Note that while your unit may be metered individually, all the units as a whole may be metered by the electric, water, and gas companies through a single meter (i.e. you meters all feed through a single master meter, and thats the one that gets read). This arrangement is pretty common, since you (the condo association, in this case) want to know if someone is abusing a particular utility, so they can make them cut it out or impose sanctions. This is actually how the cottage/main house are divided: separate meters, owned by me, can apportion, through subtraction, the cottage costs from the main house costs. The utilities prefer a single meter, because its fewer meters to read, and because it pushes the tier up. Breaking out your individual usage means separating up the bill; if there is a master meter, it also means they have to come in and read the meter. Frankly, unless the place is solar powered, with no gas appliances, $75 seems more than reasonable to me. In fact, given most places Ive deal with utilities: you are getting away with a heck of a deal. Given that you want a breakdown, theyd have to read a meter and fan-out the bill, if thats $95 for a years worth of billing statements, thats $900 a year, or about a 10% surcharge. This also seems reasonable to me, particularly if you knowing it wont change the bill. Unless you need the bill in your name for a credit application, I wouldnt sweat it.
