I moved into this house 3 months ago 2 months in I got an electric bill for
$911.oo I then called my landlord and I set up for our Utility company to do a audit on the house to find out where the electric was going because my landlord couldn't come up with a suggestion. The auditor came out and started going to work. He got to the Ac unit and found that not only was there a problem but a Major Fire hazard.He then left without checking into it any further. My landlord had somebody come out 2 days later and fix it. Now I get a $700.00 dollar bill. So I called OUC again(Utility company) and asked them what the normal daily usage for a single family 3/2 House is and they told me between 7 to 9 dollars a day depending on the Appliances/Electronics in use and the size of the house. So I let my landlord know that the electric usage had only slightly dropped from 21 dollars a day with the $911.00 bill to $17.00 a day with the new bill. I tried to work out an agreement with him and asked him to send someone out to find out where the rest of the electric was going(Ouc only offers one free inspection a year) and get it fixed and then I would give him his rent when we could agree on how much he was liable for. He then started arguing with me that he was only going to put $300.00 dollars towards what is now a $1600.00 with both months on it. He came and handed me a 3 day eviction notice today. What can I do to get him to help me get the house fixed and help with this bill and also not be Evicted?
