Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Pennsylvania

landlord lease change notification

What proceedure must a landlord follow to institute a change in landlord/tenant responsibilities? The current lease states that the landlord pays for water for the entire unit (4 floors/ 2 apartments). At some point he changed this responsibility to the tenants and had current tenants sign an amendment. When I signed the lease, as a new tenant, it was the old version of the lease and the responsibility for the water was still the landlord's. Can the landlord enforce this change without written notice?

Re: landlord lease change notification

Without reviewing the lease and based on the facts that you provided, I believe that you have a strong arguement that the landlord must pay for the water.
