Hypothetical Situation: I have a condo for rent in Idaho. Tenants are on their own for power, phone, cable, etc. Water is free here. Sewer and trash are paid by the HOA. So...
If my tenant skips the power bill, freezes a pipe, and floods another unit; does the HOA come after me or go for him?
Contact the power company and see if they have some sort of landlord electrical account. Usually, if they know your property is a rental you can have the power automatically switch back into your name once the tenants cancel. Maybe you can have it set up so the power company will contact you before they are about to shut off power.
Problem is that if the tenant doesnt pay, its in your best interest to keep power on so you'll have to keep paying. You probably need to make lack of paying for power grounds of breaking the lease.
