On Nov 1, 2010 I signed a lease ending Oct 31 2011.
On the "rider to Lease" it says "Tenant is responsible for the electric utilities. Landlord will present Tenant with full bill and sub-meter reading each month"
I am still living in the same location8 months after our lease ran out and I still have not received a bill. Would have been happy to pay it with the rent each month.
we have been paying $1200 at the start of the month since the lease and the after lease period. I have not signed up with con Edison.
We were suppose to get a new lease in the mail but they never sent us one. overall LL is a ghost besides sending some guys on needed repairs.
- Can I still be legally responsible with the utilities charge if we leave now ( 8 months after lease ran out and use the security deposit as my last months rent?
Depending on your answers I may go, OR prefer to stay and find a replacement for my roommate while living M2M.
Thank you for your help,
