Reply to comment by Western-Tie6318 in Gas bill doubled by ListofReddit

Do you want me to keep it at 60? I’m not understanding your question. The other tenants in my building are paying $60-70 this bill. I’m paying double.

Yes. I keep my thermostat at 65 during the day and 60 at night.

I love sleeping in the winter with temp at 60 (I go as low as 58). Better sleep when it’s cold and nice under my cozy layers of blankets! Then temp is up to turn on the heat when it’s time to get up. :)

Is it an actual reading or an estimate? I tend to pay way ahead on my gas bills over the summer so when we get a cold snap I don't have to worry about a gigantic bill. That said, gas prices are off the charts due to many reasons and it was also pretty damn cold.

I had an issue with a rental once where I was paying the water bill for both apartments. Someone else suggested that you look at your other bills to see if there is a reasonable explanations. But if other tenants are paying that much less, maybe do a comparison with their bills. Is it possible that some of the common spaces are tied to your gas bill?

Are they on the budget plan? That's the way to go and have pretty much the same bill month-to-month.
