Sounds like you are paying for multiple apartments and not just yours. My rowhome is your apartment size with drafty windows and crappy attic insulation and my total BGE bill at the highest was $150 and I work from home with my gf. I suggest you get a full analysis of what area in the house your BGE covers cause it sounds like you are heating the landlords apartment as well....

Big Fan of SudShare. My sudster Joy is awesome

Verde was fantastic and really fast! Shoutout to our server Tyler

Maryland Clock and Watch Repair? Was just looking at them, they have good reviews too.

There’s one up in Hunt Valley. Can’t recall the name. Worth checking out.

I see them every June in Pigtown.

My heating bill was very high this month (moreso than last years which was record setting), but yeah $300 for gas alone for 1100sq seems a bit high

Will definitely take a look, Bethesda is out of the way for sure but if they're good I don't mind the drive.

That's actually right by my work so it works out - will take a look

I used less gas this December billing period vs December 2021 and yet my bill was $100 higher. The natural gas rate went from 64 cents per therm to 95 cents during that time, so there's the problem.

The global NG market was tight for the fall and early winter as Europe disengaged from Russian gas and replaced with other sources, but the market price of NG is back down now. Not sure if the rate we pay will go down at all in January or if BGE will keep pocketing the difference as long as it can.

Here's BGE's schedule of natural gas prices. The price of gas last month is 43% higher than it was in the prior year. This--in addition to a cold snap in December--has lead to high utility bills for most everyone.

My home is around the same size. Generally BGE is around $90-$150/mo. My past bill was $215 when we had the cold snap. Yours seems very high.

That's one of the causes, but it doesn't (to me) explain a heating bill over $300. That's what I would expect to heat an entire house.

To me, this situation only makes sense if there's an insulation issue (which there is). In my opinion, these excessive bills need to be covered in part my my landlord, it's his responsibility to insulate this building and the units in it.

Highly recommend The Food Market, its my favorite MD restaurant.

We had the huge cold snap in December (several days near 0°F). This caused a huge spike in my heating costs. I expect it was the same for many.

I used Push for the last few months when I couldn't get to my laundry room. You can choose your pick up and drop off times and they fold your laundry beautifully. I liked them a lot.

I’ve never been to Druid but it looks like it will be lovely once completed 👍🏾

They're not unrealistic claims...it's simply my experience with a very run-of-the-mill heat pump that I have optimized. This isn't some corporation being dishonest or using best-case scenario laboratory results. My heatpump results are real-world results.

Come on, man...as I already said, it's a two-stage heatpump. Heat 1 is the first stage of the heatpump. Heat 2 is the second stage of the heatpump. It's not an atypical heat pump installation in any way, shape, or form.

As was mentioned above start with a 30 day notice to vacate. Send it certified so you have proof it was sent. Even if it gets returned. If she hasn’t moved at the end of that notice you will want to begin the eviction process of tenant holding over. In between now and then you will want to begin filing failure to pay rent notices. You will have to wait five days after the first of to file and there is a notice that you intend to file and that is a 10 day notice. Send that in the second of the month you should be able to find the letter on the courts website. You will want to keep track of what you a spending to get her out as those likely can be reimbursed to you. Do you have an agreement in writing?

Edit- here’s the notice of intent to file document.

Second edit- I am not an attorney but have worked in property management in the Baltimore area for 10+ years.

They haven't played in Baltimore in years.
