Utilities
Who is responsible for the utilities?
The utilities of a property are gas, electricity, water and council tax (and in some cases oil). The cost of these services is the responsibility of the tenants and starts on the commencement of the tenancy agreement and ends on the last date of your tenancy agreement (Some properties will have the water included in the rental price, which you will be informed off at the time of paying your agency fee).
How do I make sure I only pay for the utilities I have used?
It is essential that meter readings are taken on the day that you move into the property and the day that you vacate the property (please refer to the inventory section for more details).
It is important that you inform the relevant utility suppliers of your details and meter readings in order for your account to be set up correctly which will ensure you are only charged for the services that you use.
You will not be responsible for bills relating to before your tenancy even if demands are still being sent to the house. We suggest that you return these bills back to the utility suppliers or your managing agent.
