    Angry Utilities in a Dead Person's Name

    My question involves a roommate in the State of: DC
    I formerly had a verbal agreement sublease with a freind of mine in washington dc. Before I moved in I had all the questions about utilies, late fees, cleaning, keys, guests.

    When I moved in the subletter had changed the agreement about utlies and I was told that I had to pay Gas, Electric, and Water and I was told I could not see the bill because the bill was in a dead woman's name, and they were recieving a subsidy because of her age, and I could pay it or get out.

    I know my rights have been violates somewhere. I do not know what to do next. Since then I have moved out. However, am I entitled to any money since they changed the rental agreement. Also there was a lack of hot water for the first two months of me living there.

    You agreed to pay whatever it was you agreed to pay. We don't know what you agreed to pay and we don't know what you paid. We also don't know what you mean by "a lack of hot water", why there was a shortage, or what was done to correct the problem.

    If you think your ex-roommate owes you money, small claims court awaits.
