RE: Water Bill
I can't imagine why you cant discontinue once the tenant has vacated. Or ask them to put it in their name prior to move, or to pay you the water bill.

RE: Water Bill
If your contract states that tenant is responsible for water bill, you can take the bill out of your name. You can also deduct the amount owed from the sec.dpst. I would call tenant and advise them that you will be taking the water out of your name and they must have the service placed in their name, immediately. Or, if they will be out with in 30 days, you may just keep it in your name and deduct the amount from sec'dpst. ----- Disclaimer: Since I’ve been answering a lot of questions, I thought I would make the following statement. I’m not affiliated with EZlandlord Forms. I’m just here (not sure how long) to help those that have questions. Having 40+ yrs with Rental Property and done well, it’s my way of “Pay it Forward (check out the movie).” However, it is up to you to become familiar with your State/Local laws. Also, since State/Local laws vary, you should check with a Real Estate Attorney. I always like to know if the suggestions I offer are helpful. Feel free to comment anytime. Thanks in Advance.
