Am I required to provide tenants with certain utilities?

California law requires property owners to provide tenants with essential utilities, including water, heating, and electricity, unless otherwise specified in the lease. You are also responsible for ensuring these systems function properly throughout the duration of the tenancy. In some cases, the responsibility for paying utility bills can be transferred to tenants, depending on the lease terms. EGL Properties ensures that your lease agreements clearly outline who is responsible for each utility and will handle any billing issues that arise.
