Comment on When the landlord asks for a tip

The Landlord is not involved except for clearing the debt before moving in.
Depends on the building usually.
I also pay my energy for myself but the heating usually is per building and not per flat so it’s not really easy to split up so if you live in a multi-flat apartment at least the heating is usually paid up front by the landlord who includes part of it in your rent

in NSW Australia it’s even better. you sort your own electricity as a tenant which is fine, but when it comes to water, the landlord pays the fixed fees and tenant pays for usage. except only one bill is issued and it goes to the landlord, who sends a copy of the bill to you with the amount you need to pay.
I think they are looking at tenant billing directly but as of now its this crazy system
