british gas revenue protection

i know there was some british gas bills in his name,as I found them and informed them he had left.
What I don t know is that the billing was transferred to him from the moment he moved in,so I may have some liability(?)
Your liability will cease during changeovers from the moment that you informed the supplier of a new tenant and gave them opening readings. It's normal to get the tenant to check and sign for those readings at handover. Did you not do that?
Also, the date of the start of the tenancy agreement should prove that you have no billing liability after that date.
If the agent has witheld rent, then all you can is take a civil action against them to recover it.No free lunch, and no free laptop
