Read your lease, there's probably a morality clause in there that states that you can be evicted for use of "devils lightning"
Mortality clause
Fatality Clause

You get no electricity you must provide your own generator
No, they’re saying electricity is banned in the apartment
The only possible thing that would make a lick of sense is that electric isn't included? but that still doesn't make sense because that wasn't what you were asking about.

If they just moved into this place, and the lease is poorly worded, then that would explain why OP is asking
The office manager for the former slumlord I was renting from would always send passive aggressive emails written in all caps. It feels like being screamed at via writing.
But this doesn’t even convey anything? It’s like just randomly yelling “ceiling fan!”
maybe op’s landlord is brick from anchorman!
Loud noises!
NO CEILING FAN
youre probably dealing with an idiot, OP
ask one question at a time. they cant handle two at a time lmao
How would you have felt if you didn't eat breakfast yesterday?"
Nah, fuck that meme. Refusing to engage with a dumb hypothetical doesn’t mean you don’t understand hypotheticals.
I think it means rent doesn't cover electricity use and that's separate?
Yeah, I’m trying to use “boomer who hasn’t taken an English class in 50 years” logic and that’s what I imagine they meant as well
yeah probably. I had to do that once.
Once? That's been the case for every place I've ever rented.
I'm assuming state and local laws are different everywhere. No sense in pretending my experience is gospel
PARDON GRANTED.
When they ask you any questions, respond in kind. “Is the light above your porch out?” “BULB SAD”
“Another tenant made a noise complaint” “SOUND OFF”
OMFG dont test me i will
BULB SAD
💀

I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Allow me to translate:
"Dear Beloved Tennent, I will answer your question shortly. At the present moment, because I am a boomer and modern technology is strange an alien to me, I am having great trouble conveying my thoughts to you using more than 2 words that are both in capitals.
Hope this helps explain things.
Love, Your Landlord."
I had to have electric and water turned on in my name so I have accounts that are separate from the lease. You might have to do the same. He should have told you that though….
My old building manager seemed illiterate but it turns out he was just a dumb bully.
If you can’t generate your own energy, store bought is fine.
From reading text messages people share from their landlords here, I get the sense they’re not the sharpest tools in the shed, as a group. But this is bad even for them. This reads likes caveman speech.
People who work in realty are not in realty because they’re high percentile thinkers
What?
Oh goddamit
Welcome back to realty
Hi, Im here for my realty job
he’s doing his best seinfeld soup n*zi impression!
Landlord is a Neanderthal.
NONE
It’s for your own safety.
this some boomer LL? From what I notice, it is only Boomers who text in all caps for zero reason.
My guess is they are saying that Electric is not included in rent. Maybe other utilities are though, like Water/Gas/Sewage. If you have electricity in your house and can use your apartment properly, then maybe ask who does pay the electricity so you can talk to them about it.
My utilities are also kind of weird, but it was self inflicted in my case. I pay my utilities on my credit card, as it can build credit and such. When I was signing my lease, the Landlord said that electric utilities are separated, but gas utilities are combined. LL would pay 1/3 water and the Gas bill would be separated between tenants and added to the rental amount online. I negotiated with him to allow the gas and (my) electric to be moved to my utilities account, and for me to speak with the neighbor for any compensatory items related to the Gas bill.
The reason behind it is because I was getting a cheaper utility cost on my account than I would be if I was paying utilities through my landlord, because of a budget billing/income determined utility payment plan. Keeping it actually saved us all a little bit of money, so I didn't mind.
Also, all of the appliances in the house besides the Heat HVAC and hot water heater use electric, so the gas bills are actually incredibly low. Like, I could be taking an hour long shower every night in the hot water, and my gas bill at the end of the month would still be like, 20 bucks tops.
You need to get electricity supplied to your home on your own and the bill with be sent by the electric company. Your lease should have information about which company you need to use
Luckily my neighbor explained it to me but he also just left me on read when I asked him to clarify so idk what I'm supposed to do from here lol
I totally feel your pain! My landlords have all been so rude like this except for one of them. It sucks. Did you go over your copy of the lease and see if the electric company information is listed?
There's an electric monopoly in my state so there's not much of a struggle finding who powers us, it just worries me that this is how he's responding to my first-ever message to him directly. I guess it's just the nature of landlords to be a dink
Michigan?
ahhhh you're not getting that much info out of me lolol
Oh, not trying to get info, just sounds like Michigan and shitty DTE- THE ONLY OPTION 🙄
My landlord right now is really condescending about text and prefers email way more for some reason. Maybe yours prefers email too
You shouldn't have to as it should be in the lease or communicated prior to signing or while asking this question... but you could call the utility companies... electric/gas, water/sewer, trash etc. Let them know you just moved in, are having trouble reaching the owner, and are curious of the owner has 1 main account for the property (separately metered or 1 master meter... won't matter) they will be able to see activity on the billing account and see if the owner pays all at once or if they are separate and have different names on the billing accounts and are paid separately as well.
Again, this shouldn't be on you at this point but may get you a solid answer a lot quicker w the ability to ask questions. I was once the person that would have fielded such a calls and have especially for overseas owners who used crappy management companies.
i think it means you electric is not included with the rent. but i am not sure based on the response. do you still have lights on?
Yeah, I texted my neighbor and they explained how I had to call the electric company get the bill in my name lol
