What does your lease provide? The lease is a contract between you and your landlord. If it provides that you are to pay rent for the attick anad cellar, then that's what you agreed to and must pay; it if provides that you are only charged rent for space other than the attic and cellar, then the landlord has to live with what he/she agreed to.
