Sec. 15. Restrictions. (a) Unless otherwise provided by the commission, no dwelling unit may be submetered unless all dwelling units of a qualifying building are submetered. (b) All submetered units must have their utility bills determined on the basis of submeter readings. However, to allow the building owners to comply with current rental lease terms relating to the building owners' responsibility to pay for electric utility costs or the inclusion of said costs within rental payments, the dwelling units subject to such current lease terms need not have their utility bills determined on the basis of their submeter readings. However, after the expiration of said current rental leases, said dwelling units shall have their utility billings determined on the basis of their respective submeter readings.
