Previous month the wall heater wasn't working so I was using 2 electric space heaters. This month I used the gas heater.

Gas needed for hot water and radiators is considered part of the rent and is the landlord's responsibility, not yours. You only pay for cooking gas. If your gas bill is that high, there is something incorrect happening. My gas bill is usually like $30/month and I cook constantly.

Do you set your own thermostat or do you have radiators with a boiler in the basement? The boiler in the basement is for the entire building and there is no legal standing to have you pay for the cost of heating that. If your lease says gas is not included and you have radiators, it means cooking gas, not heating gas.

I have a gas heater on the wall that has a basic slider above it that goes from Off to High to control the heat.
