At the Start of theTenancy What about the transfer of utilities? Under normal circumstances, with all long let tenancies the payment of utility charges and council tax will be the responsibility of your tenant. We work with a number of utility transfer companies who assist with the transfer process, as well as offering the opportunity for your tenant to choose a provider and offer a tailored tariff that best suits them. Tenantshave complete freedom of choice. It is important that you ensure your obligations for the transfer and payment of utility charges and council tax are met, as neither we nor any of the transfer companies we use accept liability for unpaid accounts. • • If you occupied the property immediately prior to it being rented, it isimportant to ensure you have closed your accounts. Your tenant is free to choose their own providers and tariffs.
