You should contact your electric service provider and see if you can confirm that the upstairs unit is not paying for electricity. If you can't, ask the landlord to provide you with proof that the unit upstairs is paying, and the amount they are paying. If you are paying for the other units electricity and can prove that you are, demand reimbursement and if you don't get it, go to small claims court and file a complaint.
