​Utilitie Bill Woes in New Hampshire

[Rick M.]

I bought a quad in Rye last year and it’s been reasonably smooth sailing until about last week. In my lease I have it that tenant pays ALL utilities; I have the water metered so I have to charge back the tenants every month. Read the meter, break up the bill as usage, and post to Cozy. I have one tenant that has paid the bill but only after being reminded over and over again. Well tomorrow is the last day of the grace period and he hasn’t returned any calls or text about paying, the outstanding water bill. So I have contacted my attorney, and as I type this he’s, drafting up an eviction letter stating breach of contract and he has 7 days to pay the bill or the real eviction will take place. He has paid this months rent but not the water bill. Has one else had this scenario happen to them? Thanks BP
