Dear Sir,


I set up SMOKE SHOP. That unit was a dry cleaner. 

I do not need  natural gas service any more.  So I CALLED gas company to disconnect gas service. The land lord said that you have to use gas service. 


ALSO HE HAS FORCED TO USE GAS SERVICE. 

THE BELOWS ARE THE CLAUSES WHICH SHOW THE LANDLORD HAS THE RIGHT TO FORCE TO USE GAS SERVICE.


3.08 TENANT’S TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES
The Tenant will pay, as and when due, to the authority or person to which same are
owing:
(a) all taxes, licence fees, rates, duties and assessments imposed, assessed or levied
by any lawful authority during the Term relating to the business carried on in and
the use and occupancy of the Premises by the Tenant and relating to personal
property and all business and trade fixtures and other improvements owned or
installed by or on behalf of the Tenant in, on or affixed to the Premises, whether
any such taxes, licence fees, rates, duties and assessments are payable by law by
the Tenant or by the Landlord and whether or not same are allocated separately in
respect of the Premises;
(b) all charges, rates and assessments imposed, assessed or levied by any lawful
authority during the Term in respect of electricity, light, heat, power, water,
telephone and utilities of whatsoever nature or kind (including works and services
in connection therewith) used in or supplied to the Premises, provided that if any
such utility services cannot be reasonably sub-metered from the same utility
services proved to parts of the Buildings other than the Premises, the Tenant will
pay for such utility service on a connected load and usage basis as reasonably
determined by the Landlord

"Each state may maintain its own rules and regulations
about the legality, installation, and usage of sub-metered utilities.
Local municipalities may also enact their own specific ordinances."

"When you are in a sub-metered tenancy,
you’re not the client of the utility company.

your landlord is obliged to tell you, before you move in,
that you are living in a shared meter accommodation
and what percentage of that meter reading
you are expected to pay each month.
This should be agreed in writing.

In these circumstances you are referred to as a “sub-metered tenant”.
You do not have any formal relationship with the gas company
and any complaints regarding the service need to be made via your landlord,
who is responsible for the billing account."
