    I would not be paying anyone elses bills that is for sure. Did you take any reading on the meters when you moved in?

    You should have taken readings of the meters when you moved in, and then open accounts in your name. From then on, they would be your bills, for your usage.

    Depends on how it's working?

    In my place the bills are in the LL's name but they arrive at the address and we open them and pay them he doesn't even see them so there is no way we can be tricked or anything.

    It's suits us down to the ground as its a houseshare and people come and go so it's a right hassle if the gas or ESB are in a housemates name and if it had to be changed around all the time as I've experienced in a previous houseshare.

    On the other hand if you are being asked for the money without seeing the bills etc then I wouldn't be so trustworthy and would want proof of the amounts etc.

    Personally I'd prefer to leave them in the LL's name if I was you to save on the hassle of changing it over and then back when you move out but only if I was getting the bill.
