I’m sorry I have not responded. I only received an email today notifying me there were others posting on this thread. Our camper was in NJ, and the landlord sued us for the electric bill. We won in court, because he did not inform the tenants of the additional charges related to the electric usage. The judge told them they could charge anything they wanted, even if the charges were significantly higher than what the utility company had charged them, but they must inform the tenants in advance of all charges, which of course they did not do. We were actually awarded a small over-payment we had submitted when we paid the first electric bill mid-season.

The same thing is happening to us. We have signed and 5yrs lease back in 2011 and suddenly I have a 700.00 for the month of May-Sept

In the state of KY it is illegal to make a profit off of metered electric. We charge our seasonal campers exactly what they used at the same rate as our electric company. You may want to check into the laws in your state to see if what they are doing is even legal.

I was wondering if you ever received an answer for your electric usage. our park owner is doing the same thing and we cannot find out if its legal what they are doing without retaining counsel.
