Good excuses for high power bill......

Tell him that since he wont allow pets that you had to invest in a small cryogenic tank to freeze the dog until you move out.

Kiln seems like a great excuse.

Buy yourself a few ironing boards and irons , Tell him you have a co-op clothes ironing business which uses alot of electricity and the ac needs to be on more to keep the help cool.

I dunno about the Jehovah Witness thing; what if the landlord is actually interested in it and takes you up on the offer? :biglaugh: what r u gonna do then?

stealing electricity will increase your chances of getting caught, fuck that.

OH I got a good one.

Tell landlord that your bunch of Jehovah's Witnesses meet at the apartment for church services 5 nights a week.

Then every time he comes by, give him Jehovah's Witness pamplets and try to get him to come inside and talk to you about Jehovah witness crap.

This will scare him away for good. He will mail the bill to your house and never come by there again, cause he will be afraid you will talk his ear off about the JWs.

hahahaha Brilliant.

tell them you grow A TON OF WEED and that takes alot of electricity. Since you were 100% honest they will be totally cool with it.

Thats what my buddy did a month or so ago. I think it worked out great but then again I haven't been able to get ahold of him in some time and he was saying something about needing funds for a retainer BUT odds are he is doing great.

Stuff some fresh cut weed down your pants and shirt, then tell him that you grow tomatoes and legal herbs. This will work.

computer servers. 1000 watt power supplies plus chiller for cooling them. that also explains the ac running in winter.

or tell him you are into plug in the wall sex toys like the anal intruder 5000. Then ask him over

hahaha, it will work!

Tell him your worried about global warming, and following Al Gore's example.

...or if you're a non-believer in anthropomorphic climate change, tell him you hate Al Gore so you run all your electrical appliances to spite him.

I often wonder what Al Gore thinks about CO2 generators.

Yea I don't think $250 is that big a bill bro especially in a Duplex these days, I'm in a 2bd townhouse apt with a 276w CFL flower cab that's on every day a veg tent with 134w of t5s and my DR80 with a 400w HPS plus a 4" Vortex so my bill is always $200 or more and we are always playing catch up and NEVER had an issue... Just my experience so far and sounds like you have a landlord like I got just different about the power bill shit and we've been paying rent in halves for over 2 years now! I would just be a good ass tenant and nice all the time maybe help save money by fixing shit yourself ect cuz landlords that rent to folks with evictions and low income but like you (not saying you have low income) as a person seem to not want to loose easy going tenants that don't cause problems.. That's how mine is and how our last one was too!
