Forward Management is Late to Pay Its Gas Bill

Just another standard letter from Peoples Natural Gas stating that Forward Management is delinquent in paying its gas bill. This time, they owe $758.86, and tenants are encouraged to pay Peoples Natural Gas, as always.

Forward Management Turns Off Heating in April, Despite Below Freezing Temperatures

Weather History for April 1, 2014 - April 24, 2014
If you look at the table under "Weather History & Observations", you'll note the following minimum temperatures observed:

Date	Temp (F)
4/5/14	37
4/6/14	28
4/15/14	28
4/16/14	26
4/17/14	37
4/24/14	34

I believe Pennsylvania Law only requires landlords to heat the apartment to 68 degrees between October and April, but it gets freezing cold in April without heating. It's inhumane.

Forward Management Pittsburgh Changing Its Mailing Addresses

This is what happens when you implment a multiple address system for rent/correspondences.

Please mail all rental payments to the following address:

Rent can also be submitted at any First Niagara branch - just remember to include your tenant number on the payment to ensure that they deposit it into the correct account for you.

Also, this serves as a reminder that ONLY RENT will go to that address above.

Forward Management Switching to Flat Fee Monthly Electric Bill

Forward Management has switched tenants in our building from paying individualized, itemized electric bills each month (i.e., paying for what you used) to a flat monthly fee of $25 each month, as per the letter below. I typed up the letter beneath the photo.

"RE: Upcoming Change in Tenant Electric Charges

Dear ______, ______:

As of May 1, 2014 there will no longer be individualized electric meter readings for your building, and you will no longer receive an itemized electric invoice.

Due to the upcoming change with the building electric meters, we will now be charging a flat fee for electric of $25.00 per month.

If you have any questions and/or concerns, please contact the office at the number listed above [412.254.2424].

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.

We appreciate your tenancy!

Sincerely,

Forward Management"
