Yes, your tenant is responsible for the utilities thru the end of your lease. But if he took them out of his name way early, where is your incentive to negotiate shaving a month off his lease. You should expect him to pay rent clear thru the actual end of the original lease, if the utils are now in your name, but shouldn't be. You have all the power here. If he doesn't fulfill his total lease obligations, tell him you will take him to court. And if you win, you will place a lien on his NEW home, in which it will have to be paid off to you before he can sell it in the future.
