If the electric bill is a result of faulty lights or something to do with that's out of your control, you could report it and possibly not have to pay such a high amount. The apartment I used to live in did that, where if the apartment was using out of date light bulbs, they wouldn't charge you extra until the apartment complex put in energy saving light bulbs which became a standard at that complex.
