Are You a Landlord or Property Manager?

A landlord/property manager wishing to have their electric service put back into their name once a tenant schedules a disconnect will need to fill out an Automatic Continuance of Electric Service Between Tenants (PDF), commonly referred to as a Between Tenant Agreement (BTA). This will ensure no interruption of service between tenants and no connect fees.

If a tenant falls delinquent, the active BTA holder will receive an “Option to Subscribe for Service” notice. If the landlord/property manager does not subscribe or no payment is made prior to the date declared in the Notice, electric service will be disconnected.

A landlord/property manager can cancel a BTA at any time by completing a Between Tenant Agreement Cancellation form (PDF).
