Write a letter about utility costs a landlord is charging me that I believe are wrong. Facts I will give: landlord [LANDLORD_NAME], period [PERIOD], charges [CHARGES], what the lease says [LEASE_TERMS], my calculation [MY_CALCULATION]. The letter should compare the lease terms with the charges, request the bills and the method of splitting, and ask for correction. Gather before drafting: the lease clause on utilities, the bills, the meter setup, what was agreed about sharing, and the dates of any interruption. Realistic outcomes to ask for: restoration of service, a recalculated share of costs, and a refund of any overcharge. They will often answer: "The shared meter is divided by floor area." Answer by asking for the formula and the bills it is based on. Begin with a chronology for the utility shut-off or cost dispute with landlord (when, what, document), flag the gaps, and then keep every date in the letter consistent with it. Supply the letter along with a cover note of roughly 60 words, next an if-ignored ladder (request meter readings, then tenant advice, then mediation), then a proof checklist (lease clause, utility bills, my usage records), plus a proof-of-delivery tip. Email it as a PDF and paste the text into the message, then keep a screenshot of the sent folder showing date and time and follow up if no confirmation arrives. Write the letter from me personally as a layperson, without posing as counsel, and use no made-up titles or licence numbers. Request every missing detail up front and mark claims that need a document behind them. Cite no statute, case or deadline from memory; rely on [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN], and say plainly that the exact law must be verified with a qualified professional or my local consumer agency. None of this is legal advice, so avoid telling me what would win. Let it be plain, firm and fair, without insults or empty threats, and set any date from [DEADLINE] and no other.
