Check with your city if they have any tenant information to learn if there is any requirement locally or in your state govt web page links for landlord and tenant . that dictates wether any so called utility sharing is legal or not . In some states clearly any utiltity that another resident can use but is paid for by anyone else but the LL is considered a common utility and the LL in that situation must have the bill for that utility use that is shared put into the LL name . Some times utility companys also have this information available as well . so do some more research and go from there .

**A: do you have a separate electric bill? If so, demand that he pay his share.
