Please notify us if you do not intend to rent the unit.

A property owner is required to pay gas and electricity for residential tenants if there is not a written letting
agreement stating the tenant is responsible for those utilities and if the meter(s) records electricity and
gas use which is not used exclusively by that tenant. The Department of Public Utilities has billed
property owners for their tenant's entire utility bills retroactive to the date of initial occupancy in cases in
which cross-metering has been proven to exist.
