Sounds like he was just bugged that you made him do his landlordly duty of taking care of his property. What were you thinking I mean jeeze, does he expect to sit on his rump all day in airconditioned room watching tickertapes while collecting rent and not expect to actually provide basic necessities like electric?

What a moron your landlord is! Hopefully now that you have a fulltime job you can begin the hunt for a great new apartment!
