I am a condo owner. The condo management is plugging into my electicity for all eight units. Is this legal?

Legal is the interesting term in this question, and may be beside the point. Best practices dictate that at least, this is unfair.

If you're paying 100% of the electric bill, you can bill the association for the remainder of the bill that represents other owners' use.

Your monthly assessments pay bills for communal services, and if this is the communal electric service, assessments should pay for this electricity.

Your first step should be to separate your electric use from other owners' use, so you can pay your fair share. Or convert the name on the electric account to the name of the association.


Generally, however, in condominiums, fixed fees are paid by assessments; use-based consumption is paid for individually.
