Electricity in-between tennants

We have a property in Houston (Centerpoint distribution area), and in the past we've been able to find month to month contracts for electricity via powertochoose.com  

It seems that the shortest timeframe now is 3 months with steep early cancellation penalties.   Does anyone have any good recommendations so we can save some $$$ in this market?

Lenny, 

A tenant move out or move in is grounds for a change in occupancy, meaning you shouldn't have to pay any early termination fees. 

I just started on a Reliant Continuous Service plan that automatically turnt he electriucity into my name when some one moves out and I authorize it. This may be something to look into depending upon how many units you are managing.
