BGE

so i've lived in my apt for a little over two years now. when i signed my lease agreement, i was under the impression that all my utilities were covered in the rent. that said, i haven't paid anyone other than my landlord and comcast a damn thing for 2 years.

apparently i was mistaken. it seems that i am responsible for paying my electric bill. how this misunderstanding took place i'm not sure, it was so long ago, but fact of the matter is that BGE shows up at my apt last week to turn off my power. i wasn't home but my landlord (thankfully) bought me some time. they seem to think that it's time for me to pay up the almost a grand for the electricity i've been using for the past 2 years. while it's only fair to ask me for what is owed, how the HELL do you let someone get power for 2 YEARS before you decide to do something about it?!? i mean, really, i've lived places where if you miss a month, next month your power is out. if nothing else i would figure they would have reverted the billing back to the landlord??? obviously not, they just continued to think i've been skirting them for 2 years while in reality i had no idea it was even my bill to pay.

anyway, thanks to a huge financial bail-out from the gov't of grandmother, i can take care of this, but i'm still peeved. it's not like i didn't have the money to be paying all along, i would have just liked to know...
