I live in Pennsylvania. When I first signed my lease, the landlord charged $35 quarterly for water. Subsequently, the charge went to $45 quarterly, and now has been raised to $53 quarterly. None of the units in the complex are individually metered. Is it illegal for a landlord to charge for shared utilities like this?
I have heard previously on other sites that it unlawful for a landlord to charge for utilities if they are not metered separately, however I can not find any proof to back up this claim. If you can supply links to something that states that this practice is unlawful that would be very beneficial.
