Question

bill payer is not the tenant or me the landlord so how do i find out who is paying the bills? _ i rang the complany and they sed they are not allowed to supply me with this information, any other way to find out?!

Answer 1

Often times the tenants will set service up in a friend's name, or a fake name, due to having debts with the suppliers in their own names. As bad as it may seem, you don't really know if it's fraudulent or not, so it's not your problem. As long as it is on, and you know it's not in your name, don't even worry about it.

Answer 2

Do you have a "Landlord-Tenent" office near by?

If so do your complain in writing and send it ti them.

If not,I guess you have to hire a Lawayer.

Answer 3

She probably owes the utility company money under her own name, so she used a friend or family member's name.

The utility company will not give you any info, because you are not liable for the bills. Whoever's name is on the account is.

You should find out whose name the bill is in because if you end up evicting this troubled tenant, the bill payer is going to have to be named in the eviction as well. Whomever has the bill in their name has made themselves legal occupants of your property.

Answer 4

Yep as others say, as long as its not in your name, and you gave the readings over at the beginning of the tenancy, you have nothing to worry about.

Answer 5

could it be the previous tennant other than that don't pay, you'll get a bill with the bill payers name on it.
