Anyone in here own a small business/Landlord?

So story is, we are looking at this place to move out from our old location.
I got there with the new landlord, looked around, everything is good.
Then i started asking what is the amount?....all that doesn't matter, but this is what matter
He told us we only pay for electricity and phone, water he pay/free.
Then he emailed us the contract, and in the contract stated we only got 600 gallon limit of water, if we exceed that we need to pay. Ok so what is it mean by water free?
Called him up and ask why you told me FREE and now there is limit?
He harsh on us on the phone and said that you guy don't need that much water so that is why i put water limit on there. WTF? So ok i asked him this question to test him out. Can you put a meter there so i can keep track of it?, and he yelled at me on the phone and said I'LL NOT SPEND HUNDREDS OF MONEYS TO PUT A WATER METER UP. So this is another BULLPOOP we figure out, the whole building 20+ building/warehouse only got One Meter, he Can't keep track/or able to tell who is used more water than other.
I mean i'm not angry, but i was thinking this is a trap for collecting more rent in the future, or this guy has an poop mind.
600Gallons a month equal to 20 gallons a day/ Anyone in here tell me how is this works? We rent a place to focus on business and have to worry about water too on our mind? 20 Gallons a day = 20 toilet flushes <-------tell me if this example is wrong?
We in business for 11 years, and i can't believe a landlord who put a limit on water.
This is a small trick in the paper but for anyone in the future please look out for this.
