Dave,
The norm in my area of the state is all utilities go into the renter's name. One place I rent I pay for the water, but this is only because it is run from my residence next door, and it would cost me more to pay to pipe and run the water from the road than it would to just cover the water by a slightly increased rental amount.
As a landlord, utility usage is a bone of contention when it is in my name.
As for garbage, I use a dumpster, because it is cheaper for me to take the bill and split the cost amoung all the households, than for everyone to pay separaately. My rental amount reflects this cost to me as the landlord for this service.
Your friend probably does it this way due to the setup, and calculates the water/garbage/ lawn care costs into his monthly rental asking amount.
