I was just wondering how you get new tenants to put utilities in their name? They have lived in the rental for 2 weeks now, and they made no attempt to change the utilities. They are currently in the landlord's name. Now I am paying their utilities for them to live there. I have talked to them twice and told them that they need to do this, but they have not. What should I do?

Michael, thanks for your question.
1st, if the utilities are in your name, I would notify the utility company that the there needs to be a change.
2nd I would warn the renter that on such and such date, the utilities will be disconnected if they are not transferred into their name.
I actually have the utilities turned off a day before the move in if at all possible. I try to make sure everything is working and then make sure it's turned off. When they move in, it forces them to put utilities in their name.
