Landlord Utility Program

LANDLORDS REMEMBER TO CANCEL YOUR LANDLORD UTILITY PROGRAM WHEN YOU SELL OR EXCHANGE YOUR RENTAL PROPERTY.  I SOLD A RENTAL PROPERTY  AND FORGOT TO CANCEL MY LANDLORD UTILITY PROGRAM THAT ALLOWED THE UTILITY COMPANY TO CONTINUE SERVICE IF THERE WAS A NON-PAYMENT.  THIS IS A VALUABLE SERVICE PARTICULARLY IF A TENANT CLANDESTINELY MOVES OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER.  TWO YEARS AFTER MY SALE, I RECEIVED A UTILITY BILL . I CALLED AND TOLD THE ELECTRIC COMPANY THAT I NO LONGER OWNED THE BUILDING. THEY DID NOT CARE STATING THAT I HAD FAILED TO CANCEL BY LANDLORD PROGRAM. FORTUNATELY THE CURRENT OWNER PAID THE CHARGE.   THIS IS JUST ONE MORE ITEM THAT WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF WHEN WE SELL RENTAL PROPERTY. Ginny Joseph, Realtor
