How to pay for utilities while having a property listed for rent?

[Peyton LaBarbera]

My scenario goes like this... lets say a previous tenant just moved out and now for the next month the property is listed for rent, finally someone moves in but for that one month no one is living in that unit and only is being used for walkthroughs and repairs that are needed.

So in this case how do I set up for utilities to be paid by me if when a tenant is renting the apartment they pay for the utilities on their own (besides water and sewer of course)

Thank you to all that reply

Call the utility company and have them put in your name
