Certain landlord/tenants will receive special consideration regarding the suspension of electric service for non-payment. "Landlord" here means the owner, agent, manager, or lesser of premises who receives lease, rent, or other payments which include amounts for electric service. A "tenant" is the person occupying these premises.
Tenants whose landlord is responsible for paying for electric service rendered at the tenant's residence are entitled to the following considerations:
- Electric service will not be suspended until the tenant has been notified.
- There will be a delay of at least 30 days before service will be suspended.
- When feasible, the tenant will be allowed to apply for service in his own name.
- The Cooperative will not recover from a tenant or condition service to a tenant on the payment of any amounts owed by the landlord.
The Cooperative requests all landlords who are paying for the electric service for a tenant, and all tenants whose landlord is paying the bill for their electric service, to identify themselves to the Cooperative.
