I live in an apartment in San Francisco for 1.5 years. During this time I was never charged for water/sewer. Upon moving out, my landlord back charged me for this a total of $1400. My lease says the landlord only pays for electricity and I am responsible for the other utilities, so it sounds like I am responsible. I just wondering if it's legal for him to wait so long to collect this money.
Additionally, the water/sewer bills are for the entire house which contains 4 separate units. So the landlord said I am responsible for 2/10ths of the bill since my unit had 2 people of the 10 people in the whole house. Is this considered legal to pro-rate in such a way? I have no control over how much water other people use, people who I don't even know. This whole thing seems illegitimate.
Thanks for your advice!
