My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Pennsylvania
My friend's landlord withheld 2 years of water bills. They are now moving as the lease ends in May and the landlord is claiming to keep the entire security deposit in order to pay for the water for the past 2 years. There is no language in the lease regarding the water utility - none stating that either the landlord or the tenant is responsible.
Does the landlord have the right to do this? I was under the impression that it was the landlord that was responsible for water and sewer fees.
