What else can I help you with?
Tenant never switched gas into their own name. The landlord paid the bill for 7 months and then stopped. What are the tenant's rights?
If the lease agreement states that the tenant should switch the account to their name and pay the gas bill then the tenant should pay the landlord back. If there was no written agreement, or understanding, that the tenant pay the gas bill then you could try filing a complaint with the town, housing court, landlord-tenant agency, etc., if the landlord simply stopped providing heat and hot water. If the understanding was that the tenant pay their gas, they never switched the account to their name and the landlord didn't notice for seven months, then the tenant should start paying the gas bill and hope the landlord doesn't sue them for all the prior gas charges.

It's advisable for landlords to clearly outline any such arrangements in the lease agreement.
