How we handle the utility companies for your rental property in Washington
Please plan on paying your utilities through to the second day of the tenant taking possession of the property. We advise tenants to put utilities in their name 1 day prior to occupancy. We encourage this overlap between tenant and property owner to ensure that the utilities are not turned off during the transition.
