put this all in writing. Get as many back bills as possible from Gas company. I would ask for 3 months, or more of free rent. Since the apt building is full it might not be a problem for them. Then each Gas bill from now on must be paid, after you issue them a check for your part to her so they can pay the bill.

I would want my free stuff right up front and now. I wouldn't cut up a damn thing. Do it now, they might be feeling guilty and make sure it's all in writing. Name of the lady you talked with at the Gas company, date and time. Everything. This can be worked out but if they don't then off to court you go. Make notes anytime you talk to the landlord now, with dates and times. Get a little notebook and keep it all together for as long as you live there.

Good luck.
