If I was you I would get your landlord to fit a meter for the electricity that comes into your apartment only. Basically a relative of mine has bought a house which is converted into 2 flats. There is one electricity meter and one bill from EDF electricity. However each flat has a separate meter which the previous owner fitted. This shows the consumption of electricity by each flat, and you know exactly what you have been charged. I didn't know that its a legal requiremnt to be able to read your own meter reading, if it is then this would be the best way to do it. (assuming the landlord is willing to pay for the extra meters)

Thanks for that, but yes i defnitely have my own meter and i'm only being charged for my own electricity aparently. I'm getting on the phone today to the management company to get some clarification on this.
