You need to communicate with the landlord to straighten out the situation as quickly and painlessly as possible.

You may pay the gas bill and deduct that amount from your next month's rent. However, a landlord that doesn't pay such an important bill shouldn't have tenants. I know it's expensive, but moving sounds like a good idea.

-------------------------------------------------

If your lease says that the gas is paid as part of your rent then the contract for gas to the property would be in your landlord's name and your landlord is responsible for it. If in these circumstances he is not paying the gas bill, then you need to go and see an attorney (lawyer / solicitor) for advice.

If however the gas contract is in your name, then you are responsible for the payments despite what you may think your tenancy agreement says.

Can a landlord send you a bill after you move out?

Yes. I landlord can send you a bill after you move out. If you paid a security deposit when you moved in those funds are put towards and damages that were not "normal wear and tear". If the security deposit did not cover the damages then the landlord can send you a bill for the difference. There is a loophole here that some landlords forget about. Within 30 days of moving out if your landlord is keeping your security deposit and sending you a bill he needs to send you a letter detailing the damages and the cost for repairs. The 30 days is the limit. If it was sent on day 31 then the landlord is out of luck.
