I terminated my utilities on 5/19, moved out 5/9 but the lease ended 6/9. The landlord was fully away of my physical move-out date and looked forward to taking over the keys early, so he could show the unit to prospective renters. However he held me to the end of my lease - fine.
Am I repsonsible for the difference in utilities? I called both the gas and electric today and confirmed the termination date of 5/19 and a $0 balance. Shouldn't the balance from 5/20-6/9 be zero if nothing is plugged in or running? My landlord has informed me that he'll deduct the balance from my deposit, is he required to provide me with a copy of the "alledged balance?" He has been scamming me on other issues throughout the course of my rental agreement. :( Thanks.
