Connecticut Supreme Court prohibits apartment building owners from using RUB (ratio utility billing) without individual meters.

Connecticut Supreme Court rules that apartment building owners cannot charge tenants variable monthly utility fees without individual meters. The ruling involved a case filed by Northland Investment Corp., which sought to use "ratio utility billing" (RUB) to charge utility costs to tenants in its CT complexes. RUB involves the landlord paying the utility bill and then recovering costs from tenants monthly.
