Coopers Crossing is charging only a certain amount of their tenants for gas utility, any tenant that moved in after 10/01/05. There are only a couple of meters on a property of 727 units. Maintenance issues keept me from using my hot water in the bathtub and my stove for several weeks upon moving in (Jan.06)My first bill was over $100 that is crazy. I started investigating and found out quit abit of information about submetering. The main office does not communicate with the rental office which is very unprofessional. They have been crazy enough to sue me for nonpayment of rent, when my rent has been paid every month on time. These are some nasty people you will have to deal with and they still want your rent every month.

What do you mean they are charging a certain amount...so basically what you are saying (forgive me if I sound naive...my rent all uts incl.) is that regardless of my usage of Gas for a particualar month...I may end up paying a higher amount based on the usage of other tenants? So the meter really isn't gauging one person's usage but it's metered collectively?

That what she means. I have the same problem. I only have a gas stove, everything else is electric. One month for cooking was $98.89. They base the bill on square footage and the number of people in the apartment. I asked what does square footage have to do with cooking? The heat is electric. I was told that it was the only fair way to bill. I said that the only fair way to bill is to put in individual meters for each apartment. I can't wait to leave this place. It's be one thing after another with my case.

These people are not only unprofessional but crazy too. I spoke with the VP the first week in Jan 07 he apologized for all that I have gone through with the gas bill. On Friday of last week he sounded like a crazy man that told me to "do what you have to do". I am not paying this gas bill and I will have to file a law suit against them so that I can clear my name. They don't care that someone was shot in the head on my front step less than 2 weeks ago. They are treating all of us like animals and we must stand up for ourselves. Thank you for responding.
