I’ve recently moved into a basement suite, a friend of mine rented it before me and said she paid about $100 per month for utilities. I was sort of shocked before the whole townhouse I was living in before was about $60 per month.

The property manager sends the total every month and she transferred it over, she never asked to see the bill. The lease says we pay 30%. There’s no one living upstairs, there’s one other suite they rent but it’s a single guy living there. I’m going to ask to see the bill when the manager sends the total owed, but I’m already seeing some red flags with this manager so I’m nervous she’s going to create an issue about it. Has anyone dealt with this before? Do I have to pay it without seeing the bill?
