(NY) Paying for oil already in the house upon move in
Hello all. My partner and I just recently moved into an apartment on Long Island. Within the lease agreement, it says we are responsible for 1/3 of the heating oil. Our official move-in date was 8/15. The landlord sent pictures of receipts from 3/29 and 7/29 indicating we were responsible for the full tank. Are we obligated to pay this? I’m pretty sure there were also tenants in the house prior to us. So I could maybe see paying for the 7/29 delivery but I am unsure. It does not say anywhere in the lease agreement we would be responsible for existing oil. Let me know what yall think. Thank you.
