Can A Landlord Require You To Pay A Part Of The Utilities When U Share A House With Other People?

I rent part of a four bedroom house and the owner lives in one room ive been here almost 2 years and the owner has always threatened to make us pay the utilities now he says if we want to stay we pay> He makes us all use florescent light bulbs, even when i told him they hert my eyes and cause headaches. He actually removed a good bulb i was useing to finish my research for College and replaced it
