Your roommate may be refusing to pay their share of the utilities due to financial difficulties, disagreements over usage, or simply forgetting. It's important to communicate openly and address the issue calmly to find a resolution.
To address the issue of your roommate not paying their share of utilities in small claims court, you can take the following steps: Gather evidence: Collect any relevant documents, such as utility bills and communication with your roommate regarding the payments. Send a demand letter: Clearly outline the amount owed and give your roommate a deadline to pay before taking legal action. File a claim: If your roommate fails to pay, you can file a claim in small claims court to seek reimbursement for the unpaid utilities. Attend the hearing: Present your evidence and arguments in court, and a judge will make a decision on the case. Enforce the judgment: If the judge rules in your favor, you can take steps to enforce the judgment and collect the owed amount from your roommate.

Do you mean can a landlord charge you a portion of the utilities that is shared by all..including you? If you had mutual agreement that you would pay a portion of the utility bill..then why wouldn't you be entitled to pay your share of the usage for items used by you...including common areas? Nothing in life is free...someone has to pay..always...so quit thinking that someone should pay your way in life. That is your job! The above is not only inaccurate, but unhelpful and accusatory. If it is in your lease that you will pay a portion of shared utilities, then yes they can charge you for it. If there is an agreement that utilities are included, then no they cannot charge you. I would suggest that when it is not possible for utilities to be separated by user in an apartment, that you only lease apartments where there is a flat rate included for utilities. It is not an expectation that someone pay your way in life, because if you're sharing a duplex with somebody that uses utilities all the time while you are conservative, you end up actually paying for them.
If you own a property and are the landlord of homes on the property, you can add to your contract that the tenant has to pay utilities. However, if that is not in the contract, it may difficult to get them to pay utilities.
Utilities in the house are described as solutions you would like to use and have to pay for to enhance your living style.
The insurance company is refusing to pay for storage fees because it may not be covered under the policy or because the storage fees are considered excessive or unnecessary.
He has the right to the use and possession of the property if he inherited it. Keep track of the expenses such as taxes, insurance, utilities, municipal services and maintenance. You will need to sue him for his half of those expenses if he won't pay his share. Answer Life is too short to share with someone you are unhappy living with, and you do not deserve the trouble he is bringing to you. Insist on a resolution and do not walk away from your share, which is what he may be trying to make you do. He could refinance and pay you your share, or vice versa. You definitely need an agreement ASAP as to how the repairs, utilities and household will be managed if you continue to live together. It is a shame that the deceased was not specific as to how to handle this.
If you are asking about a utilities included rent situation then no they shouldn't reimburse. Are you going to pay additional the months your utilities are higher?
If a person is kicked out this means without notice and it is no fault of their own then NO they should not be expected to pay for half of the utilities. But if you get kicked out because of your actions or breach of contract/agreement then YES you will have to pay.
That all depends on the landlord, and the local laws. Sometimes some utilities are included in the rent, sometimes they are not. For example, some places have laws that require landlords to provide water.

It depends upon whether the rental agreement between you and them is on an official or unofficial basis. If it's non-official and just an 'ad hoc' unwritten agreement between you and them to share the rent 50-50, and they aren't keeping their side of the bargain, then there's not a lot that you CAN do as they are not legally bound to contribute their share. Unfortunately this will mean the eventual eviction of both parties- tough for you, but you can take consolation in the fact that your roommate will have rendered themselves evicted also. If it is an official, legally-binding agreement, then you can complain to your lawyer and seek the roommate's prosecution. But the best bet is to go to your landlord and explain the problem- he or she will then confront the roommate and issue them with an ultimatum to pay up or leave. They will be likely to be sympathetic towards you and to let you stay on alone until a replacement roommate is found who will be more honest about paying the rent.
