From the wording that you stated, “Tenant will pay $84 for water, sewer, garbage,” it means that you are responsible for that payment in addition to rent.

That’s crazy to think your landlord would hold you responsible for the $84 water bill. I would fight it! I just had a problem with my landlord concerning some charges to my deposit, after trying to work with him I decided to file a complaint with the RPA. That was the smartest thing I ever did! My landlord was quick to work with the agent assigned to my complaint. Yeah, it’s dumb that it took me to file a complaint before the problem got resolved, but hey, I shouldn’t have to get bullied around– and neither should you!!

Whatever the agreement states is what the legally binding agreement is. You mentioned that the agreement showed that you are responsible for paying the $84 bill, but you did not clarify whether the agreement said that that amount was already included with the rent. Based on what you have said it seems that the $84 mentioned in the agreement would be in addition to the rent, why else would it be in the agreement? Check the agreement again.
