<prompt> Human: As title says, they have just received a random bill of a little over 3k in the guys name who rented before them, since this they have never received a water bill in their name and the landlord said nothing about it so they automatically thought that the landlord pays the bill. Do they have to pay this?  <response>: They probably need to have the landlord contact the previous resident so he can transfer the account to your parents but I would assume that they need to pay the water bill
