Paying Tenant Doesn't Live In Property
Is it bad for a house to sit vacant with no power?
Concern: Tenant doesn't live in property, turned off power to house, and lives with his girl friend. House is located in Fayetteville, NC where it doesn't get too cold. The tenant still pays rent for a house that is located in the best school district.
Should I be concerned?
Thanks in advance for your help.

If it gets below freezing you need power on. Is the refrigerator/freezer empty and door open? I would send a 24 hour notice and inspect. Maybe trial period with the girlfriend? I would not be too concerned if he is paying rent and responding.
