    This is a function of local building codes, not real estate law.

    Depends on how the electric is billed.
    If there is only one meter it is not uncommon for the electric to be included in the rent.

    There is almost 100% chance that he cannot legally sub-meter the electric. If the electric is charged separately there must be one meter for every space PLUS one for the LL and common area loads.
