Question

Help answer this question below.

Our lease states that we are responsible for paying the water/sewer bill, but the bill is in the landlord's name and we are told what to pay and we never see a copy of the bill. What are our rights?

    Generally this is an item that is in commercial leases where the tenant pays all utilities and taxes. In most states the owner pays water and sewer by law. (though he can pass than along by higher rents) Depending on the state there is a good chance this may be illegal.

    Consult either an attorney or in most larger cites there are usually housing/tenant rights groups.
