Transfer utilities in tenants name
I am wondering how you go about transferring the utilities into your tenants name.
I know for electricity there is a form you fill out and send to the company. Is water and heat the same?
Do you have the residents set up trash?
This all assuming tenants are paying utilities.
Thanks guys!

It's also good to get the utility companies to set you up with a landlord account, so when the tenant moves out and turns off the utility, it will automatically transfer into the landlord or property manager's account. This eliminates having to re-establish service and run the risk of having no power when you are about to start the make rent ready process again.
