<prompt> Human: I brought this up in legaladvice without much luck, hoping for a better answer here.Let me preface this by saying that I am not trying to get out of paying my bills, I am a responsible individual and pay my fair share.Onto the pickle that I am in.I have lived in an apartment since August with my girlfriend. When we moved in, we got a notice to switch the electric to our names. We never got a notice to switch the gas service to our names.We received an email from the landlord saying that they got a notice from the gas company that they will be disconnecting our gas service and to call the gas company. We call the gas company and they tell us we owe 370. The previous tenants never cancelled the service for this apartment and we are being served a bill that was under their name, but supposedly for the time that we lived there.I asked for the itemized invoicebill so I can see if they charged me any fees for a mistake that is not fully my fault and to make sure I am only being charged for the months I have been living here. They tell me that they cannot release any information about the bill, since it is not in my name it is under the previous tenants name and that I am legally required to pay the bill because I am the current tenant. I said that I need more information before I pay the bill and they still will not release an itemized bill. So I have no information on how much gas I used, how much I am being charged for the gas that I used, if I am only being charged for the months I have lived there, or if there are any fees tacked on. This all seems sketchy to me.How do I get them to give me an itemized bill? I dont think my service will be disconnected for a few days according to the gas company. I am in the state of Iowa if that helps.Assistant: We call the gas company and they tell us we owe 370. So you havent been paying for gas at all? 370 doesnt seem unreasonable for 6 months of gas spanning the winter season.I understand that doesnt answer your specific question. Honestly I dont know how they can say we cant release any information because its not in your name and then in the same breath but youre responsible for it.Do they have an office you could go to and talk to someone? Sometimes you get further that way instead of just talking to a call center drone.Human: We have not been paying gas, it is not uncommon for the landlords in our area to pay gas and the tenant pay electric, but honestly we just didnt think about it once we moved in. No offices in our area to go into unfortunately. They are claiming they legally cannot disclose the information on the bill and we are also legally required to pay the bill since we live there. Its very frustrating.  <response>: Do you have any contact with the previous tenants? Does the landlord? Has anyone gotten billsstatements? Its very frustrating.No kidding! It floors me that theyre literally just saying pay us arbitrary amount, no questions!
