Can my landlord add a utility? I agreed to renew when I was told my rent would not change, but now I’m responsible for the gas bill.—Jakob, Wicker Park Utilities should be set before the lease is signed. If I wanted to remove radiators and put HVAC in the unit, I’d do it between tenants. You should ask to meet to draw up a new lease. I’d argue that the rent should decrease or at the very least stay the same if you’re taking on a new cost.
