    yhe power or water bill pointed at your name and residence

    Many people live in cities without owning their house. So they never see those bills. Renters are usually two levels away from the actual owner. Then there are all the people who live and work in cities but aren’t official renters.

      In my country it’s illegal for the landlord to include utilities in the price.
      It’s the responsibility of the tenant to subscribe to those services in their name.
      It’s done to prevent landlords from cutting utilities on a whim or to pressure late payments.
