How we deal with the utility companies for your rental property in Washington
Please plan on paying your utilities through to the second day of the renter taking possession of the rental investment. We advise renters to put utilities in their name 1 day before occupancy. We encourage this overlap between tenant and property owner to ensure that the utilities do not go off during the transition.
