I recently bought a house which previous owner had the 1st floor tenants unknowing paying for the electrical in the basement ( where the owners mother lived ) . For this reason when we are going to rent out the 1st floor unit we will be including electricity in the rent.

All this to say that if you feel like something funny is going on call pseg and scheduled them to come out and do an assessment. Let them know your situation. They will have to get the land lord involved as they cannot just come onto someone’s property. Your other option is to get a real estate lawyer. But that route opens up another can of worms and might not be worth it financially. Maybe leave the unit when your lease is up.

I will say that I moved to Nj from NY 2 years ago and pseg is significantly cheaper than con Edison, with better service!!!
