My mom currently moved out of the house about a month ago. I’ve been paying her bills ever since and never had a problem until now. She was supposed to add me onto the lease, so that I was able to continue paying the bills. I paid the light bill on yesterday and they ended up turning my lights off today saying that I can’t pay the bills.
Are you officially added to the lease now or is it still under your mom's name?
It’s still under my moms name .
