Can our property management legally switch our gas bill into the owners name without asking?

there is much more to the story. my husband and i rent a house through a property management company. we have lived there for a year now.2 months ago, the prop. mgt called and said they switched our gas bill into the owners name, and that we would be getting mail for the owner and that we needed to give that to them. we come to find out the owners are refinancing the home as "owner occupied" to get a better rate and even had the prop. mgt ask us to lie for them if anyone came by and asked if the owner lived there.i call the gas company and our account has been closed,and now the prop mgt wants us to pay the gas bill that is currently under the owners name. i know all this is not right, but do we legally have to pay the gas bill if its not under our name? in our lease agreement all it says is we are liable for paying utilities, but if it isnt under our name im not sure.
