A.Dear Sir,
Yes, it seems he is misleading you. The rate of unit chargers of consumption of electricity cannot be changed depending upon the length of the tenancy period.

A.Dear Client,
The contents of your query sound unfair. A dispute between a tenant and landlord is resolved under the state-specific Rent Control Act under which a Rent Controller or Addl Rent Controller is appointed to deal with the dispute if arises between the parties. So, in the prevailing situation, serving a legal notice to the landlord, you can file an application explaining your grievance against the landlord before the concerned Rent Controller to resolve the issue amicably. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
