Third-Party Notification
For Property Managers and Owners
Third-party notification is required by Federal Law. It is in place to protect your privacy rights. The member residing at the property where electric service is being delivered and the party requesting the account information must fill out this form and return it to our office.
Detail
When services are disconnected due to non-payment, the member isn't the only one affected it can impact the property owner/manager, too. Third-party notice lets you know when a disconnection notice has been sent to one of your tenants. This allows you to take proactive action with your tenant and avoid unnecessary disconnections.
- When you are aware of the pending disconnection of an occupied unit, you can address the situation with the resident and take measures to avoid damage to property (such as refrigerators) that may result from disconnection.
- Third-party notice may also alert you to a pending disconnection on a vacant unit if a tenant moves out without notifying us to end service. You can avoid unnecessary disconnections by contacting us to transfer the service back to you.
We recommend that the tenant complete the Third Party Notice Form before issuing keys. The resident and property manager must sign the form to be valid. You may also add language to your lease indicating that a third-party notice is required for utilities.
