How we handle 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. We advise tenants to put utilities in their name 1 day before occupancy. We encourage this overlap between renter and landlord to ensure that the utilities do not go off during the transition.
