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