Can a Landlord Mark up an Electric Bill?

[KStrike]

State is Georgia.

I rent a lot at a campground while I'm finishing school. I only pay month to month and signed a lease accordingly. The lease states that the electric here is $.14 per kw/h, which I did read in the lease but paid no attention at the time. My electric bill for a camper was outrageous, coming in at $160 last month. Keep in mind I have no microwave, washer/dryer, dishwasher, run one floor heater on a thermostat at night and use gas to run water heater. So basically a computer, some 12V lighting, and my heater in the evening sometimes. I checked other electric bills and they average in at around $.08 per kw/h.

My question: Is it legal for the campground to mark-up my electric bill?

If you need more research on my part I will be glad to do the legwork. The only assumption I have is that the meters may be the campgrounds property and they are charging for that portion of the wiring. But justification of this expense does not balance. I do not see a 30-40 percent markup for this small amount of wiring and the the meter.

Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

contact some technician and ask him to figure out the actual reason.

I think first you should check your bill and even if you still face problem then contact some technician.
