Re: tenant had utilities shutoff, What about my house? by Anonymous on September 29, 2014 @18:51

                              
OP here... Thanks for all the suggestions/advice. Power is back on, and as I understand it, it was only electric service that was disconnected, but after a quick UL inspection (meter was removed = inspection + new meter) it is back on. Still wading through the BS of what happened, but either way its a clusterfark.

To answer a few of you, I didn't stay and chat because I was already late for work. After asking the NG guy & the tenant a few questions I determined that staying longer and being later to work would not help anyone. I checked that the tenant didn't need me present and got to the bottom of it later that day.

Also, The tenant was living in the unit when I purchased the place. I wanted to have rental income right away, and this couple had a newborn between making the offer & closing, so they came with the house in a manner of speaking.

I plan on revisiting the lease with some of your suggestions and a lawyer. I'm now registered with the utility company as the property owner and am looking into that side of things.
