    Default Landlord and Utilities

    Hello

    I'm in Connecticut and am renting a small house over a 2 car garage that will also be mine. I will be responsible for oil, water, and elec and havea few questions.

    1) Am I entitled to see the utility bills or should they already be in my name as I am very good at conservation and don't want to be secretly overbilled if in the landlords name. ?

    2) The landlord will be around doing repairs and has an adjacent apartment building 50 ft from the small house.
    A lawn mower and snowblower will be in the garage below the house.

    Can I prevent the landlord from using my utilities (lights 10 bulbs in series in the garage) and water etc (to wash mower) etc since I'm paying the utils.?

    3) If the landlord comes on the premises to do outside maintenance, how best can I assure he doesn't use the water for his tasks.

    4) The oil furnace is in the garage and the landlord installed a fin-heater in the garage because he used the garage as a workshop. Do I now need to keep the garage a certain temp so the water in this fin heater doesn't freeze.

    5) Can I get some insurance from the utility companies that the house utilities serve the house only on not the nearby apartments he owns.

    Thanks
