Lanlord's Responsibility?

[kvcoughlin]

I am asking this question for my sister in New Jersey.
She is renting a house and the heat is provided by 2 large propane tanks outside that must be filled in order to provide heat and gas for the stove. She moved in and they are empty. It costs $400 to fill them both for the winter...is it the lanlord's responsibilty to have them filled? Isn't their responsibility to provide heat?
Thanks !

Well what is in her lease?

Heat and hot water is paid by whom? What was in the advertisement she saw when she called to see the place?
