you're not paying for you electricity in the US? Here in Germany you pay an expected amount for heating and electricity and then at the end of the year the landlord has to send you a statement telling you how much was used exactly and either pay you back the difference or you have to pay additionally and that usually results in changes in what the expected amount is in the future
Here in the US sometimes the landlord covers utilities, usually you have to set up your own utilities account. Other times dig a well and build your own power plant v
That sounds a little complicated. I get the energy bill directly from the energy provider and pay what I owe or set up a direct debit with them.
The Landlord is not involved except for clearing the debt before moving in.
in NSW Australia it's even better. you sort your own electricity as a tenant which is fine, but when it comes to water, the landlord pays the fixed fees and tenant pays for usage. except only one bill is issued and it goes to the landlord, who sends a copy of the bill to you with the amount you need to pay.
I think they are looking at tenant billing directly but as of now its this crazy system
Depends on the building usually.
I also pay my energy for myself but the heating usually is per building and not per flat so it's not really easy to split up so if you live in a multi-flat apartment at least the heating is usually paid up front by the landlord who includes part of it in your rent
