Hi,
My previous tenant moved out March 31, and the new tenant moved in on April 17. They were/are both responsible for their own bill. Today, I got a Hydro bill that I need to pay for the small usage between March 31 and April 17, plus the account setup fee.
This is unexpected (although it`s less than $100). The Hydro rep told me "they do not `disconnect` the service. Landlord is responsible for bills between tenants. If it`s less than 3 days, then the account setup fee can be waived. Period."
As a landlord, I have no control when my tenant calls and disconnects the service. At the end, am I responsible for his bill, if the tenant calls in early (say 14 days earlier)??
Thanks,
Lucas
