Can utility company place a lien on the landlord's property if tenant does not pay his utility bills?

[Larisa G.]

I have received a letter from EDCO Disposal Corporation stating that my tenant is past due on several payments, and that if the amount is not paid in the next 30 days ( by the time I got the letter it would be only 20 days left), a lien may be placed on the property for the unpaid amount plus administrative fees.

I have no agreement for their services with EDCO for this property. Tenant has his own agreement with EDCO and is responsible for his own bills.

My tenants always set up their own accounts with utilities companies and pay their own utility bills. I do not even know which utility companies they use, and utility companies do not usually know my name or my address at all.

Can EDCO or any utility company actually place a lien on the landlord's property if tenant does not pay his utility bills? How can I fight it?
