QUESTION
Can my landlord deduct for a bill that was not agreed upon in the lease agreement
Asked on Mar 11th, 2014 on Landlord and Tenant Law - Colorado
More details to this question:
When I signed my lease agreement the landlord stated he would pay the water bill as it was included in the HOA fee's. During my lease period the HOA installed water meters in the units. My landlord then said I was responsible to pay for the water bill. Although he said he didn't pursue it with me during my stay he took the last 2 months of the water bill out of my security deposit. Can he legally do that?

What does your lease say about utilities? Was the water bill in your name or his? The answer to your question is going to be based on the specific facts. I recommend that you take your lease to an attorney for a consultation.
Good Luck,
