Best Answer

No, they cannot. However, if the your apartment, house, etc, is an all utilities included, the landlord is responsible for bill, and may not be current. You will then need to make an addendum to your lease to specify that the electricity shall be placed into your name, and the cost of the bill shall be deducted from the rent every month1.

1 - This will need to be a signed and notarized agreement by both parties. You and the landlord will need to sign in front of a public notary.

What are the benefits of investing in single tenant net leased properties?

Many people consider single-tenant, net-leased properties as bond-like investments because of their stable, predictable returns. Because tenants commit to long-term leases, there's very little re-leasing risk. Moreover, single-tenant, net-leased investments can be tailored to an investor's risk-reward expectations by choosing tenants with different credit profiles. For example, some tenants are rated by national credit ratings agencies while other tenants have only their previous financial performance to recommend them.

What can a landlord do if the tenants abuse free electricity and water?

If the rent includes electricity and water, then there's not much the landlord can do. If the landlord feels he is paying too much for electricity and water, he can opt for a water meter and electric meter to be installed on the property, to enable the tenant to be responsible for his own electric and water. It should be noted, however, that landlord may not turn off any utilities because the tenant failed to pay the rent.

Is it legal for a landlord to increase electric rates for their tenants in Illinois?

In most if not all US States, the cost of electricity is based on proposals from electric companies to a State commission tasked with the duty to judge whether any increases in electricity rates can be raised or even lowered. In no State can a landlord raise the cost of electricity to tenants unless a State commission has allowed the electric company to raise the rates charged to everyone. There might be exceptions to electric rates charged to a State government, however that is unlikely.
