What utilities to keep on while showing empty house?

Dan Marl
Posted

I searched through the forum but couldn't find the answer.

I am going to have an empty house to show to potential renters (it's a new build). What utilities should I open under my name in order to show to renters?

A friend told me it should be electric, gas, water.

Another friend said only electric because if gas and water are turned on, someone could accidentally leave it on and cause damage or run up the bill.

What do you all do? 

Thank you!

I'd keep all of them on as it often causes more problems and costs more to have them turned off and back on.
