So I was asked to give paperwork for a housing lottery. The only problem is the utility bill is NOT in my name, its in my roommates name. I have ALL other paperwork, looking for advice, I want to get paperwork in ASAP.

I answered your other post, but I think a phone bill would do it.

"If you do not rent your own apartment and you are living with someone else, bring a notarized letter
from your housemate along with a copy of their lease and copies of their utility bills"

That's what it states on the document list

The utility bill is to show residency. If you're on the lease, that should be sufficient. Mimilove's advice is correct for those who are living with someone else but not on the lease.

I thought an affidavit of residency was enough to compensate for proof of address turns out my cellphone bill was the preferred document to satisfy the utility request.

The all you need is the lease. Please ask the agent.
