What a horrible way to start my Monday..

The Landlord probably is not paying the mortgage either. At leas for now since the light bill is in the landlords name. I would call the eletricity company and tell them you just moved in and want to connect the light. The money that is owed goes on the landlords name so he/she is responsible for it.

Edison told us we cant transfer tue bill into our name untip the 1800 is paid. Luckily, we're all moving from this house this summer. Though, I would love to take him to court, a lot goes into that whole process, and I'll be leaving the state in three months.
