Utilities

Dear community,

how do you guys handle the utilities during vacancy? Do you ask your last tenant to keep their accounts active (if they paid their own utilities) and then reimburse them upon new tenant moving, or do utility companies have specials where they don't charge you their regular fees for new accounts. Please let me know how you handle this.

@Jakub Bednarz check with your utility company as some have a program where once the old tenant turns off their account the utilities switch back to you automatically until the new tenant opens their account.
