I think my LL is stealing from me.
Issue 1: I think the hall and basement electricity is hooked in to my apartment. I was told by the other tenants that the LL had an arrangement with the former tenant (FT) that the LL would pay the FT for the hall electric. The FT got sick of it and demanded that the LL's electric be run to a separate meter. Then FT moved out. I have some additional research to do on this, but do any of you have advice on how I should proceed if I confirm my suspicions?
Issue 2: I ran a rental history on my apartment. I believe that the amount the LL is claiming as the FT's rent is inflated by as much as 80%. Is there any way for me to confirm what my LL is claiming on the rental history? This could mean that I am being significantly overcharged for my Rent Stabalized apartment.
Any other advice that you want to lob in my general direction is welcome.
