City of Hallandale FL requires utility accounts to be in owner's name

[Sam Leon]

Just got a flyer for my duplex in Hallandale, FL stating next year the utility accounts - water, sewer, sanitation must be in the name of the owner on record, and not the tenants.

Owner will get a bill, and be responsible for the bill.  Optionally, owner may request a copy of the bill to be sent to the tenants.

I guess my rent will include water/sewer/sanitation from now on.  I don't want to have to pay it then ask the tenants for a monthly reimbursement, too much hassle.
