That’s tough (maybe impossible) to do unless the utilities are in your name. Putting the utilities in your name carries other risk.
I lived in a large complex — each unit paid its own electric but water was split among the tenants. So it might work for a large complex.
Good points. Thanks.
If it is a private home only used for short term rentals such as an AirBNB the utilities likely would remain in the owner’s name. For longer rentals it does make more sense to have the tenant responsible for their own utility bills.
PS. It would be verboten if done to get the tenant (lazy bums) out. However if it is right there in the agreement I think it would pass muster. Provided the reason is to not have them on for a vacant property.
If that would be legally enforceable.
Maybe digital locks with the entry code that can be reprogrammed remotely. They’d just break the window or the lock itself somehow most likely.
Invest in REITs.
Obviously you do, since you were annoyed enough to respond...
Well, you well and truly got me there. Have a blessed evening.
And the lawyer’s locksmith.
