Just wonder anyone knows usually who pays the Water & Utility bill in Vancouver BC Canada? Renter or Land

Question

I just rent my house out as no utility included. but the renter says that usually water bill (drainage, waste utility) are pay by the landlord. Is it true?

Answer 1

Very tricky for the renter to say this.  You will be smarter next time.  You will write in big letters in the lease TENANT PAYS ALL. and have him initial.  Too late for that now.  Sometimes in life, you might be willing to pay them.  If the tenant is wonderful in every way, i might do it.  But not one landlord in 100 pays the utilities and your tenant knows that. /

Answer 2

I am sure it depends on your lease.

Answer 3

No, this is not true.   People pay their own bills in houses.
