I have a rental property - Single family home in Brampton - where the tenant is responsible for all utitilities. To date she has paid the rent on time, including October 1st.
Two weeks ago, I received an emailed "Late Due notice" for a $65 quarterly water/sewage bill. (I had signed up for email notification of late payments when she first moved in.)
She`s a busy person, so I thought little of it and emailed it to her, thinking perhaps that the bill was simply overlooked.
Tonight I received another email - this time a Final Due notice stating that services would be cut off in 10 days if it isn`t paid.
I know that legally, as homeowner I am ultimately responsible for that bill.
With the monthly rent paid on time, I`m surprised that a $65 water bill wouldn`t be paid. Before I take any action, I would be interested in hearing advice from others as to the best approach. For all i know, the other bills have not been paid either...
Thanks,
Margaret
