1237 - Resolution - Requiring landlord or property manager be billed directly for utility bills and not tenantsRESOLUTION NO. 12-3
WHEREAS, the City of Port Orchard has allowed landlords
the option to have their utility bills sent directly to
themselves or to their tenants,
WHEREAS, in many instances the tenant vacates the rental
without paying their utilities bill which creates a financial
problem for the landlord and considerable additional cost
to the City.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that effective with the next
regular billing, each landlord or property manages owning or
managing rental property within or served by the City of Port
Orchard utilities will be billed directly, and the disposition
and payment of the utility bill shall be the responsibility
of the owner/manager. The City, in situations requiring
shut-off for non payment, will make a reasonable effort to
contact both owner/manager. /
