Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey

New Water Bills

I have been living in an apartment complex for over 10 years. Two years ago the lease changed stating we would be paying for water. We do not have individual meters just one for the building. I just received my first water bill from ISTA this month. We do not have individual meters. Newer tenants have been receiving them for two years. We just got our first. People have not paid them and moved out. What do I do? I do not want to pay something that is only being given to certain residents. I am concerned that the Property Manager told the ''old timers'' that we would not have to pay for the water bill and just sign the lease. Now we have a bill after two years??

Re: New Water Bills

this is messy, and unclear. if the amount of money involved is worth it, then see a lawyer. if you are near me, Bergen or Passaic, come see me. if you can gather up a group of old timers, that will likely make it worth getting an opinion from an attorney.
