A property owner is required to pay gas and electricity for residential tenants if there is not a written letting agreement stating the
tenant is responsible for those utilities and if the meter(s) records electricity and gas use which is not used exclusively by that
tenant. The Department of Public Utilities has billed property owners for their tenant's entire utility bills retroactive to the date of
initial occupancy in cases in which cross-metering has been proven to exist.
