“Dear PoPville,
Well, it seems like a silly question, but I haven’t had to deal with this before, so I’m looking for help from the PoPville community:
I live in a large apartment building and until now utilities have been included in the rent. However as of Aug 1 we are on our own and must have an individual account with Pepco.
My question relates to the meter – I have no idea where it is – I imagine there is a meter room in the basement (?) and herein lies the problem. How does it usually work in large buildings when it comes to accessing the meter to take a reading? Call me cynical, but I have very little faith in either Pepco or the management company to do this right. What arrangement do people find works best? And are there any laws that mandate a tenant having access to the meter?
I’d love to hear your experiences.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
