How much power can a leaseholder have?

The tenant is the leaseholder,  usually. I assume you mean the landlord? Your syntax suggests you are in the UK. In any event, the landlord is going to have to bring a court action for eviction. It this is a council property, there are new laws that facilitate the eviction of antisocial tenants. How about an ASBO though: violations can be pursued through comtempt action; this can be very effective with neighbours from hell.\n\nYour lease no doubt gives you the right of "quiet enjoyment" whether in the UK or the USA. You can pursue your landlord on that point.

Check with the city's Energy Office (might have a different name but every city has a similar agency). They can offer short-term assitance to folks who can't pay their energy bills.  That will at least keep the lights on.\n\nAs far as the previous landlord, there is not much you can do.  His defense will be that you could have simply overpaid your monthly electric bill to avoid getting caught short; in fact, the electric company where I live actually recommends doing that, if you get to your third month with an estimated reading. Since he's not the landlord any more, you can't really go back in time and force him to let the utility companies have access to the meters. And technically it's not his fault for your getting behind in the bills because your bill states if it is an estimated or actual reading; it's common knowledge that estimated readings are always too low and months of them could take a bite out of your pocket; and you were always welcome to overpay the bills.

Check with state attourney general for a statement of what a tenant's rights are for.  She will probably be able to take him to small claims court and win.

All you need to do is add the power requirements of all the equipment you will use, not forgetting things such as lighting, air conditioning, extractors, fans, drinks or food dispensers, water or any other heaters, office equipment (computers, fax machines, copiers etc.) \n\nThen speak to you electricity supply company and discuss it with them.

Every state and municipality has statutes and regulations governing the landlord-tenant relationship.\n\nI didn't read your little essay because it wasn't a question.

Rent control ordinances are rarely done at the state level.  They are usually done at the local county level.  Check your County's website.  They may very well have the information there.

I'd just give him the rent if you feel he's ripping you off.  How are you going to know that your electric bill is 20.00 or 200.00?

Talk to the CAB about the tenant rights. They will be able to give you the specifics, and they're free!

I would say the first thing to do is read your lease and see if use of the garage is included in the lease agreement especially if it is a detatched unit. If the garage is included in the lease then see if the landlord specified that he/she would be utilizing X % for personal use.\n\nIf the landlord has not spelled out in the lease that he or she is going to utilize so much for personal use I would say you have the right to tell the landlord to get his vehicles out of the garage your paying to use. Your lease most likely has a clause that is something along the lines of "tenant has the right to quiet enjoyment of the property from the holder of paramount title..." What this means is you have the right to use/enjoy the property without the owner/landlord being around all of the time.\n\nIf your looking for specific legal building dimensions, check with the city building department; they will tell you specifically what square foot requirements are; however I will bet that if the city OK'd the building permits when built then the dimensions are OK.\n\nGood Luck

That sounds mighty high. Then again if you pay your rent later than 15 days and you are on a lease you are technically in breach of the lease agreement.

The landlord can ask a tenant to pay for whatever they want.  It's up to YOU if you want to or not.  If you don't, I would suggest looking else where, where it's not included in the lease.

You'll have to go by whatever you agreed to in your lease.  Your only other option is to try to talk to the landlord to see if they are willing to make any concessions.  Good luck.

Just call the utility directly.  They can give you information on average bills, etc.  People do it all the time when trying to decide whether or not to live in a particular place.

Depends on the state.  You obivously have internet.  Look up your state's landlord tenant laws.

I agree with jl_jack09, different states have different renter's rights.  You can also access this online through your own state government's website.  It would probably be easier to get a librarian to help you find exactly what you need though, there is a lot of legalese to read through.  Basically, you don't have many, BUT you do have some basic fundamental rights.  \n\nRule of thumb when renting:  Do everything that lease says, do everything the rules state and if you get harrassed beyond that, then you have a leg to stand on.

...Is your gas and heat part of utilities addendum in your lease agreement?   If so asking the landlord to extract out a separate bill for just you would be discriminatory action against ALL the OTHER residents. He would be very reluctant to do that. Anything a landlord provides to one resident, he must be prepared to provide equally for all other residents.  For instance an announcement is attached to the office door/window for all to see...OR placed on all tenants doors. Time consuming for him to do.
