I posted this on "Can't even give them one star ". For those of you now resisting the Energy Surcharge/Holdover Fee. First, there is the matter of a “holdover”. Since is it not defined differently in the lease, it is understood in rental law to be a lessee who stays beyond his right of possession. There is no way to be charged this ahead of time--only if you overstay your week. As for the “energy surcharge”, as this has always, since the beginning of my lease, been paid by the occupant at the time of occupancy. Since that was true for almost everyone of you, and agreement on terms AT THE TIME THE CONTRACT IS SIGNED is controlling, the meaning of energy surcharge cannot be arbitrarily changed. Hope this helps.
