I live in NJ and when I move into a new home I call all the utilities and have them turned on in my name. You can not be held responsible for a total stranger's debts. If the landlord is saying you have to pay it before it is turned back on he is WRONG.

Put water in your name......


If you are responsible for the payment of water for the term of your lease, you should have had the water service put in your name the date you moved in or your day your lease started.
