Overlapping Tenancy - utility bills

Hello,
I’m moving out of my current flat on the 11th September 2020 however my tenancy agreement does not end until the 9th November 2020. Do I still need to pay electric and water bills for the old flat once I’ve moved out?
Thanks

Yes, you're responsible for the bills for as long as you're the tenant. Whether you're actually there or not is irrelevant.

Ok - thank you for your help.davidmcn said:Yes, you're responsible for the bills for as long as you're the tenant. Whether you're actually there or not is irrelevant.0 -
Yup - we have had the same with an overlap between completion on our new house and our tenancy on the rented one ending. I just paid the final bills for the rented one a couple of days ago, but we have been out of there for three weeks. Until the tenancy ends, you are liable.1
