Dear CD members, I had a question for you. I stayed at a place in the month of March temporarily from the 9th of that month till the end of the month. Now when I moved in I paid a pro-rated rent for the remainder of the 21 days of the month I stayed over there. I was asked to vacate by the leaser holder of the place because of certain compulsions she had and so I found another place in the month of April and moved out.

Now she has sent me an invoice with the money I owe her for the utilities in the month of March. However these included utilities for the entire month of March and not just the dates I stayed there. When I questioned her about this, she said it's standard practice for people to pay the utilities for the whole month irrespective of what dates they stayed. I don't think is fair because if the rent is prorated so should the utilities. But then she said this was standard practice in California. I was wondering who's right in this situation since I am new here and you might have different standards, although I still don't think I should pay for the days I haven't stayed there.
