Water Service Provider Billing Policy
The water provider for one of my rentals just changed their policy. Bottom line is that they will no longer deal with renters and will only establish accounts for property owners - we are talking about a SFR. This will leave me in the position of increasing rent to cover water, or to try to recoup monthly water fees from the tenant. Is anyone else dealing with a policy like this? It was obviously prompted by a company that wants to minimize their account management functions by pushing their responsibility to the property owner. By the way, this is across the board in the area and is not directed at me, as my property has had no delinquent accounts.
Thanks, Steve
