Landlords required to make apportioned and submetered utility service bills for residential buildings due not less than 31 days from the date of bill issuance.

This bill requires landlords to give tenants at least 31 days to pay their utility bills that are apportioned or submetered for residential buildings. This means that when utility bills are divided among tenants, they must be issued with enough time for residents to pay them without rushing. The goal is to provide tenants with a fairer timeframe to manage their utility expenses.

Supporters of the bill argue that it protects tenants by ensuring they have adequate time to pay their utility bills, which can help prevent late fees and financial stress. They believe this measure promotes fairness and transparency in billing practices, ultimately leading to better landlord-tenant relationships.

Critics may contend that the bill could create additional administrative burdens for landlords, who might struggle to manage billing cycles effectively. They might argue that this requirement could lead to higher operational costs, which could ultimately be passed on to tenants in the form of increased rents.
