Utilities not Connected as advised

[Tomeka Wray]

So today my tenant is scheduled to move in. I told her two weeks ago to make sure that she has her utilities start on Friday Sept. 30th, because the utility company didn't have start dates on the weekend. Also I scheduled the stop service on my account on Sept. 30th. So when I show up today to do the walk thru, there is no power. She scheduled the utilities to start on Monday. As a result she has no power this weekend and we could not do a full walk thru because I could not start anything that was plugged up. In the lease she is responsible for her utilities. Is this something that I need to be concerned with?

I would be somewhat concerned. That is a lease violation and the tenant might be irresponsible-OK, maybe forgetful-I once forgot to pay the rent for our new office, so it happens! All the best!
