I know that LL needs to provide certain amount of heat, but what if I have to pay for it? He says heating isn't included in the rent, and gave a random amount of money I need to pay in the heat season and won't show me a bill, and says I need to pay that amount to him (for 3-bedroom apt, over over $1300 a year for heat). The lease was ambiguous about this point, and they promised I'd get my own meter and heating bill.
I already signed the lease and gave deposit but my cosigner didn't sign yet. Why should I pay the heat bill without getting a bill? Without being able to control the temperature?
