Dear Tenants and Neighbors,
I want to give you a quick update so you hear it directly from me.
Today, the Landlord sent a letter to Justice Farrell responding to my recent letter about the new Metergy electric bills. In his letter, the Landlord argues that the bills are proper and that tenants are not facing the harms I described in our lawsuit.
I strongly disagree.
This afternoon, I prepared and sent a response letter to the Court addressing the Landlord’s arguments. In that response, I explained, among other things, that:
- the Landlord has still not shown that SC-1 is the correct rate cap for these buildings;
- the PSC’s 2025 Order failed to clearly identify the proper rate cap;
- even if Metergy is using the SC-1 calculator, that does not resolve the larger legal and factual defects in the submetering scheme; and
- the bills still impose serious pressure on tenants through late charges, mounting arrears, and lease-based enforcement.
I am attaching both letters so you can see exactly what the Landlord argued and how I responded.
I want you to know that I am continuing to fight this issue aggressively and to keep the Court focused on the real harm these bills are causing to tenants.
Thank you for your continued support and patience.
