Electricity between Tenants/Sale

[Cindy Lin]

Hi, I have a tenant that just moved out and the electricity at the unit is now shut off. I am planning to sell the property. I'll need to turn the electricity back on to make some repairs and for showings. What do you all usually do during this period? Sign a month to month or contract and just pay the termination fee? I saw some posts about landlord/property management agreements. How does that work in Texas where most people shop around for the best rates? Thank you!
