Hi, I'm in Calif.
My landlord wants me to change my utilities into his name so he can claim that he lives in this house. He gets some sort of tax break if he can prove
that he's lived in this house for 5 years.
He wants to pay the utility bills online & have me reimburse him for them when I pay him the rent.
What are the ramifications of doing this?
One problem I can see is that if I decide to move & rent another place, they will probably ask for my most recent utility bill to check my payment history.
I don't feel right doing this..
I'd like to give him a really good reason for refusing so he won't raise my rent or some such thing.
Appreciate any advice..
