I have government assistance for paying my electric bill. They pay 50% of my bill. Even with the assistance my bills were still $ 400-500. Recently my Landlord took me to court for a possession of property. During the hearing I explained to the judge that I could not afford the ridiculously high bills and that is why I struggle to pay the rent on time . I also told the judge that my landlord made an apartment in my basement and was renting to two tenants. I told him had an verbal agreement with the tenants for their help in paying the bill, but $40 /a month from both of them ($80) just wasn’t enough. Peco came out to check the meter and sure enough I was paying for the two tenants in the basement, hot water for the upstairs apartment, and for the electric in the office of the auto repair shop connected to my house . Today an employee from the shop told me that an electrician is working around the house and that our electric would be out for around 30 minutes . It’s going on 3 hours and the electric is still partially off. The electrician is the same guy that fixes the plumbing and rain gutter issues, so I’m wondering if he’s a certified electrician. I called the police as well as PECO to make reports. I’m wondering was that necessary ?? My daughter asked the employees if they knew what the electrician was doing but they argued with her and alerted the landlord. He called and threatened to evict her from the apartment she rents from him, if she were to go to the auto shop employees again. Is there any need to worry about that ??
