I understand the mistake on my end however it does state in the lease the tenant is responsible for water and power. Is the tenants refusal to pay the bill grounds for eviction?

Renting out an apartment in California. A tenant moved in 2 years ago and I have recently come to find out he never tranfered the electricity into his name. Its in the lease that power and gas are tenants responsibility. I understand it's my fault I am barley realizing now that I have been paying the bill. After notifying the tenant he has tranfered it in his name however now I am wondering if I can charge him with the 24 months of billing that I paid for, a total of $1,800.00. Are there any legal restrictions regarding what I can and can't do in this situation?
