How To Handle Utilities After Tenant Moves Out?

[James Nix]

Hey Everyone,

I'm dealing with my first ever turnover of a unit. So this process is a little confusing to me. My question is what do I do about the utilities at this point?

My tenant (that's out the unit) texted me if I would be available today to meet pgw at the unit to give them access to the meter. So I'm guessing that they are about to end services there since she is moved out. 

So do I call PGW right now so they can put it in my name at the same time that they take it out her name?

Then is it the same process when I find a new renter to get them to put it in there name? or is the steps different?
