And I don't live next to the tenants so I am much more disconnected with how it personally affects them.

I seem to have a large disconnect from your style compared to the majority of the community.

So IMHO, get him to put a disconnect request in for the electric (I assume it's in his name) and keep the deposit.

My experience with Morris was that there is a disconnect between what you see on line, and what is actually going on.

Long lengths is bad because that gauge of wire is not cheap.Around here they dont disconnect the transformer when the utility company ups the service , they work on the wires while they are hot .

There are signs to look for with underground oil tank such as a visible vent and/or filler pipes, disconnected oil lines coming through the foundation wall which was the supply and return lines from the heating oil tank, a concrete channel may be visible in the basement floor that leads to the furnace area.

Ryan, I'm not sure where the disconnect is but when you buy "a warehouse or a principal office location" that real estate purchase is NOT tax deductible to a corporation, and so those profits WOULD be taxed even though you spent them all.

I was able to file a renters insurance claim when they disconnected their washing machine on move out and it flooded and their company paid for it. 

I decided to disconnect their electric and water, then I gave them the phone number of a person that was starting their very first STR. 

I called and set them for disconnection in three days and then I called and told him.
