QUESTION
If I get 75.00 per month in my rent for electricity, and only use 49.00, can my landlord keep the extra 26.00?

More details to this question:
My landlord gives me a 75.00 allotment for electricity with my rent. If I go over, I have to pay the overage. But if I use less than that amount, he says he can just keep it, and not apply it to future electric needs. This has to be illegal, right?

What doe you lease say? Generally you do that so your rent doesn't change every month. If you want to get equally billing more exact ask the power company or negotiate a lower rate next lease.
