Utility Setup - Arkansas New Construction SFH

[Andrew Burrell]

Hi all,

I am the owner of a brand new, new construction SFH in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I have not set up internet or any other utilities, as there have been no tenants living in the property since I closed in late February. The first tenants are moving in July 1, and they have asked me to cover the costs associated with the installation of any new services (i.e., internet), and then they will transfer it into their name at the start of the lease. They essentially want me to set everything up and pay the upfront costs, then they will transfer everything into their name and pay the ongoing fees throughout the lease. Does anyone know if I am required to do this for them upfront?

Thank you!
