Understanding your obligations is the first step to staying on top of winter utility bills. Tenants are usually responsible for day-to-day energy use, water, and sometimes council tax, depending on the tenancy agreement. Landlords typically cover central heating in some cases or may handle communal utilities in flats. Always check your contract carefully - clarity upfront can prevent disputes later.
