What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? North Carolina
I moved into a duplex that is rented from a property management company. I have been staying in the home for over a year. I was told when I moved in that I was responsible for utilities. Thw water was on when I moved in and my neighbor stated we did not pay water. I did not receive a bill or notice, so I took this information to be true. However, it is about 15 months later and I received a notice that the water must be put it my name to avoid disconnection. Now, I received a bill for over $300.00 for the entire time I have been there. Am I responsible for the entire bill or does the owner of the home hold any responsibility? Should I have not been notified long before now or should they have not stopped service?
