I am renting an apartment in a two family house but the heat and electric is not separated. We recently all agreed to pay percentages of the bill, but I heard that unless it is separate, the landlord is required to pay the utilities. It bothers me because I don’t know exactly what I’m using and paying for. Anybody know the law in New Jersey?
