Water bill landlord issues

Hello BP!

We are new REI in MD. We had an interesting conversation regarding water bills. If the tenant(s) are responsible for paying the water bill and they neglect to pay the bill (or they didn't pay it in full), can you legally apply additional fees (if the fees are spelled out in the lease)? I was informed that landlords cannot implement additional fees on utility bills.

Please share your thoughts. Happy Holidays,
