<prompt> Human: Both my partner and I have moved out of an apartment, which had a lease which was supposed to end on the last day of June, when my boyfriend canceled it. However, my boyfriend got the wrong dates of the move, and put the end of this month, July, not June and as a result, we need to pay an additional months rent, utility bills and council tax for an apartment were not living in.Ive explained to the Land lord that whilst we are happy to pay the rent due to this being an error on our part, wed like to do a final meter read this week as were not using any utilities in an empty apartment, and it seems silly to pay them on said empty apartment. The land lord has said no, we MUST pay them, empty or not as the meter readings may change while no one is in the apartment. I have gone in and personally switched off the electricity and water to ensure this does not happen.. Ive said that Id need to check with my partner, and upon telling my him that we will need to pay these additional fees, but that we would no doubt get a refund from the utility companies, he flat out refused to pay them. He told me I could pay them myself and that hed only pay his share of the rent and is not budging on this. Hes ceased all contact with me and moved back home. I cant afford this at all, as in total the amount I would need to pay is coming in at 500 Our base tax and utilities for a month are stupidly high because of the location I assume.. On top of this I pay off a loan each month at 275 and pay rent in my new apartment which is 200. In total that brings me up to nearly 1000 for the month, which is my entire months wages.I live wage slip to wage slip due to high bills and having used my savings to pay for a funeral and was wondering if anyone could perhaps give me some advice? For example if there was some kind of place I could go for help with costs or if there is anything I can do with my bank loan temporarily while I try to pay this off? Ive tried the citizens advice bureau but they said they could not help. Is there any way I can encourage my partner to pay his share? Were both on the tenancy contract, but it was a verbal agreement between us that wed pay the utility bills out of my bank account and hes saying that this has no legal force behind it, so he doesnt have to pay a penny.He refused to get a shared bank account for the bills  <response>: Seems you need to examine what the word partner means to youand if you have a partnership with your b.f. Sounds like hes a bitof an ass hole as he is willing to dump the entire burden on you. Trya relationship sub.
