Question

Can i be held responsible for another adults electric bill in north Carolina?

Answer 1

Without the details, no one here can say.

Answer 2

Are they your spouse?  Yes.   Do you own the property?  Yes.  Is the agreement with the electric company, with YOU?  Yes.

If you aren't married to them, the bill isn't in your name, and you don't own the property, no.
