Post new question Related posts: We moved into a house a little less than 2 years ago. I asked my landlord on many occasions to change the electric into my name from her mothers name whos house we were renting. Her mother had died several years before and our landlord was a family friend doing us a a favor right after our daughter was born. She never changed the bill into our name. I know that there is stock with the electric company in her mothers name and in her name. Would this have anything to do with why she wouldn’t switch the bill into my name? Is this utility fraud? Very High Electric Bill Landlord harrassment about utility bill. excessive electric bill old a/c seasonal campground tenant i pay to rent a room in a home. i have usage to the entire house, the landlord has the bills for utilities in his name and did not pay the electric bill therefore the home has no electricity. there was never a lease signed, all he told me when i moved in that he would make sure i knew how much my share of the electric bill was.. he has not shown me the amt for 2 mths and claims he doesnt have the money to pay the bill. is he allowed to do this, allow the electricity to be shut off when he knows people are living there? where do i turn to, he will not answer his phone nor does he even come over to check on things. i am desparate..
