Dumb Utilities Question
I am in the process of purchasing my first investment property, a condo unit which will be used as a rental. Future tenants will be paying the utilities.
Do you keep utilities turned on (and in your name) when the unit is vacant (before I get a tenant)? When I do get a tenant, do I have to do anything to facilitate getting their utilities turned on -- or does the tenant take care of all that themselves?
Dumb questions, I know!
