Thank you for the A2AI donu2019t know of a law that requires a landlord to pay for utilities. The property must habitable by having access to water, electricity and a heating system but the landlord is not required to pay the utility bill. There are times when there are shared utilities between tenants. The landlord may either pay the full utility or split the bill between tenants. The lease agreement should have the details of who pays for the utilities.Of course, I can not tell what city or country this question is coming from so be sure to check your local area laws.
