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