Solutions for utility payments

Hey BP.

I am currently looking to move from NY to Louisville. I read on the landlord-tenant laws that the landlord is in charge of paying the utilities. That is around 350 a month. From my understanding, some tenants know that they are not the ones paying for those bills. Therefore, they take advantage by not turning off the lights or the water and turn up the heat whenever they want. That increases my bill and creates an issue. There are no incentives from a tenant point of view regarding utilities. Has this happened to you? If so, what was your solution?
