Submeter Tests upon Written Request to the Owner. Upon the
				  written request of a tenant and if the tenant so desires, in the tenant's
				  presence or in the presence of the tenant's authorized representative, each
				  owner shall make a test of the accuracy of the tenant's submeter. The test
				  shall be made during reasonable business hours at a time convenient to the
				  tenant desiring to observe the test. If the submeter tests within the accuracy
				  standards for self-contained watt-hour meters as established by the latest
				  edition of ANSI C12.1-1982, a charge of up to $15 may be charged the tenant for
				  making the test. Following completion of any requested test, the owner shall
				  promptly advise the tenant of the results of the test.

Bills for Electric Service.
(a) Bills shall be rendered for the same
				billing period as that of the utility, generally monthly, unless service is
				rendered for less than that period. Bills shall be rendered as promptly as
				possible following the reading of the submeters. The submeters shall be read
				within 3 days of the scheduled reading date of the utility's master
				meter.
(b) The unit of measurement
				shall be the kilowatt-hour (KWH).
(c) The owner shall be responsible for
				determining that the energy billed to any dwelling unit shall be only for
				energy consumed within that unit, and so metered.
(d) The owner shall be entitled to collect
				only those charges made to him by the electric utility and no more.
(e) The tenant's bill shall be calculated in
				the following manner: After the owner's electric bill is received from the
				utility, the owner shall divide the total net charges for electrical
				consumption, plus applicable tax, by the total number of kilowatt-hours to
				obtain an average cost per kilowatt-hour. This average kilowatt-hour cost shall
				then be multiplied by each tenant's kilowatt-hour consumption to obtain the
				charge to the tenant. The computation of the average cost per kilowatt-hour
				shall not include any penalties charged by the utility to the owner for
				disconnection, late payment, or other similar service charges.
(f) Prorated initial or final tenants' bills
				shall be calculated using the most recent available average cost per
				kilowatt-hour.
(g) The tenant's
				bill shall show all of the following information:
(1) The date and reading of the submeter at
				the beginning and at the end of the period for which the bill is
				rendered.
(2) The number of
				kilowatt-hours metered.
(3) The
				computed rate per kilowatt-hour.
(4) The total amount due for electricity
				used.
(5) A clear and unambiguous
				statement that the bill is not from the electric utility which provides service
				to the qualifying building.
(6) The
				name and address of the tenant to whom the bill is applicable.
(7) The name of the firm rendering the
				submetering bill and the name or title, address and telephone number of the
				person or persons to be contacted in case of a billing dispute.
(8) The date by which the tenant must pay the
				bill.

Adjustment of Bills.
(a) Adjustment due to meter errors. If any
				service meter, after being tested, as provided for in these rules
[ 170
				IAC 4-5 ]
, is found to exceed the accuracy standards as established by
				ANSI C12.1-1982, the bills for service shall be adjusted as follows:
(1) Fast meters-When a meter is found to have
				a positive average error, the owner shall refund or credit the tenant's account
				with the amount of any charges in excess of either (i) an average bill for the
				kilowatthours or (ii) separate bills individually adjusted for the percent of
				error for the period the meter was fast, if such period can be determined, or
				one year, whichever period is shorter. An average bill shall be calculated on
				the basis of kilowatthours registered on the meter over corresponding periods
				either prior or subsequent to the period for which the meter is determined to
				be fast.
(2) Stopped or slow
				meters-When a meter is stopped or has a negative average error, the owner may
				charge the customer for the kilowatthours incorrectly registered for one-half
				of the period since the previous test or one year, whichever is shorter. The
				amount of the charge to the customer shall be estimated on the basis of either
				(i) an average bill as herein below described or (ii) separate bills
				individually adjusted for the percent of error. An average bill shall be
				calculated on the basis of kilowatt-hours registered on the meter of
				corresponding periods either prior or subsequent to the period for which the
				meter is determined to be slow or stopped. The owner may charge the tenant for
				such amounts except where the owner negligently allows the stopped or slow
				meter to remain in service.
(3)
				Other billing adjustments. All other billing errors may be adjusted to the
				known date of error or for a period of one year, whichever period is
				shorter.

				inclusion of said costs within rental payments, the dwelling units subject to
				such current lease terms need not have their utility bills determined on the
				basis of their submeter readings. However, after the expiration of said current
				rental leases, said dwelling units shall have their utility billings determined
				on the basis of their respective submeter readings.
