Re: appliances

If they're your appliances, he cannot charge you for thier use. If he is paying your electric, he can charge you for the use of electricity if he starts doing it at the beginning of a new lease term. If you are paying for use of your electricity he cannot charge you.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
