    Default Tenant is Being Charged for Propane for the Entire Property

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of:

    I began living at this rental April of 2010 its 1400sf and only thing that runs on propane is the water heater, there are now 4 in my family. Myself,husband,2yr old and brand new baby born a couple months ago. My question is what do I do if my landlord is charging me for all the propane. On the property there is our rental, an apartment, and also the owners own home which is pretty big and is a two story. In the year in a half that we have lived here he has charged us over $1000 for propane and like I said all we have is the water heater. I never use the heater nor do I wash clothes with hot water. Only hot showers and I wash dishes with hot water. This month he gave us a bill of $75 just for last month. I know there is no way that we use $75 worth of propane in a month. What do I do from here? How do I bring it up to the landlord? We will be moving out soon can I ask for some money back and maybe ask for full deposit back because of this.
    Thanks for any help

    What does your lease say about propane charges?

    How do you know he's charging you the entire propane bill, rather than some portion of the bill?
