In both cases, you are authorized to enter and take possession.

To a point where I even gave an authorization to send you a full refund for the three months of us working diligently for you during your five-month journey with us.I can proudly say that from the Lead flow of 20 + qualified leads, we met this target every single month.

IF you see that happen or suspect it then you can raise holy hell with the authorities.

@Ben O'Neill You're in California so you probably need to get something signed and approved by congress before you can do anything, but for the rest of us in states that allow business to be conducted....I have all tenants sign the same lease.

Otherwise, an employer is legally not allowed to share worker information, so we have a Verification of Employment (VOE) form we send with applicant's authorization signature.The biggest challenge/frustration is, all of this takes more time and effort - which costs a PMC more payroll!

The exceptions where you need to keep the bill in your name are when they are combined between units like your water and also utilities provided by the municipality or municipal authority.
