Civil Code section 1940.9 explicitly covers the situation where a tenant's electric and/or gas meter also measures gas or electricity furnished elsewhere, such as to the landlord, to another tenant, or to common areas. The section is too long to quote here, but to summarize, the law requires predisclosure and making fair and satisfactory agreements for cost sharing.
