Supplying running water vs paying for it

Brandon Palmer

Ran into a first today. I’ve had this tenant that I already plan on not renewing with, but my city called today needing access to the building (4 unit) to turn off water. I’m in Ohio and it looks like Ohio law states that landlord will provide running water. The articles I’m reading have me confused on whether or not I’m supposed to step in and catch her water bill up (three months worth so 180ish plus late fees). If I went this route I could charge it under my lease agreement as additional rent due immediately and charge 75 service fee. However if the tenant is already struggling do I want to take on that issue or can I say I’ve supplied it, she’s failed to maintain it. Any insight would be very helpful. Thanks!
