This subj came up in another thread but I guess you're supposed to start new after enough time.
My building (stabilized) is that strange case where they charge/collect for utilities at the same time as rent.
They suddenly claimed I owed a lot in back utilities... the billing has been wrong a lot & the law seems to be on my side... long story short, I finally got a letter from management committing to a settlement.
The letter says we've agreed that as soon as I pay $X all outstanding electric charges will be erased from my unit/bills.
I almost wrote a check right away, but now I've been advised (not by LL) to add this payment to the next rent check, since that's how you usually pay rent + electric here -- lawyer says this protects tenant best.
Does that sound right?
