Tenant didn't transfer utilities in to their name.

[Matthew Reid]

I did not do the best job selecting a tenant and am paying for it now. I have a tenant that has failed to transfer utilities into their name per the lease when they moved in. I have forwarded all the Bills and reminders over to the tenant. I am now getting emails and phone calls from city water and light to pay the utilities because the utilities are still in my name. Am I legally obligated to pay the utilities if they were never transferred over?
