Lol, meter is broke.
IMO, you did you due diligence...

So in other words ,just continue with your free electricity , although you should be paying for it.

He notified them. His conscience is clear. He can't force them to fix the problem.

Sure his conscience is clear, does that change the fact he should be paying the same as the rest . Sounds like from a few of you its okay as long as he can get away with it, he did his part :h

What is he supposed to do? Stop using electricity? If he has notified the owners that the meter seems to be broken, yet the owner still doesn't do anything to fix it, it's not the OP's fault. OP isn;t "getting away with anything". He's done what he could do. If the owner is so little concerned, or so lazy to do anything, it's on the owner.

No , he’s not supposed to quit using electricity, but what is it you and others don’t get . It’s coming back on him eventually in a big bill when they finally wake up to the error . Understand something here, he is using electricity that he’s supposed to pay for , thats seems to be eluding some of you . I would want to get it straightened out , and as I have said before he's had ONE verbal conversation. Sure it’s on the owner , and eventually it’s on him to pay up .

He did want to get it straightened out. That is why he went and told them of the problem. What is he supposed to do, hold a gun on them till they fix it? All he can do is report it. It is up to them to take it from there. He reported it. He did his part.

As far as a "big bill" later, he could report it, in writing, every day for 3 months and it will have no effect on whether he finally gets that bill. To prevent that bill, he would have to FORCE them to fix it, and that is NOT his responsibility, or right.
