    Landlord Failure to Supply Running Water
    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Ohio

    I am signing my lease on the 1st and the landlord has not paid the past water bill from the previous tenants which were evicted. The water is turned off at this time. I have put down a $500 down deposit to hold the house last month. I have moved all utilities over as its two days away signing the lease. I also had to buy renters insurance. If he fails to pay the water bill and provide running water what rights do I have?

    Thanks for your help

    Is the water bill in the tenant's name or the landlord's? Has the water utility told you that they absolutely will not restart service until the bill is paid?
