Something you might try is putting your TV/VCR/DVD etc. on a power strip... or if they are truely used infrequently just unplug them. They use some electricity just to be in standby. It may not help much, but every little bit helps. Any idea on how the power bill is divvied up? Does the complex get a bill or do individual apartments get bills? If your building gets a bill and it's split between tenants, you could be getting the short end of the stick, and should request that each apartment gets metered separately. When you are making out the check to pay the electric to you make it out to the power company, or to the landlord? He could be screwing you... just a thought.
