Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities

questions & answers

Question: The gas is in my landlord's name because it covers the whole building, and he is supposed to give us a monthly statement so we can pay our share. We have been here since January. It is March, and we have yet to receive a bill. I am afraid that he will wait until it is too much to pay at once. Does he have a time limit to get our monthly bill to us?

Answer: Unless it says so in your lease, there is no time limit. I would suggest that you write him a note (keep a copy) and include it with your April rent saying you would like to pay the gas bill in a timely fashion and need the figures immediately. You could also add $20 or so to your next rent payment with a clear note that it is payment for gas and see if this gets the landlord's attention.
