For the moment, don't worry about who pays for it. If you are in an area where all this super cold weather is right now and into next week, you need to protect your property at all costs from pipes freezing. Pay to have the tank completely filled asap, and then bill the tenant next month for the whole cost. Inform them when you get it filled, that you are going to take it out of any money they pay you for rent FIRST, and then write a receipt for the remaining rent they paid. Then give them a 3 day notice to pay the rest of the rent, or move. Be prepared to go to court if need be.

In CA, not too too cold, but due to the condition of the house and them refusing to use the heater in a proper way, I need to test the heater and lines just to make sure everything is still in working order so should they cate to ever use it. Only other thing is, wouldn't a judge throw the eviction out if I accept what would be viewed as partial rent?
