When selling your house do all the utility bills (gas and the electricity) have to be settled before exchange?
I know of someone who hasn't paid the gas bill for years! I think the gas co. simply hasn't got them registered. They've been using it endlessly. Can that person sell off and move out without them realsising or are all bills settled beofre completion of a sale of a house? What happens if at a later date after the house is sold the in coming purchaser is sent the bill for all that time s/he didn't even use it?

no just let your company know that you have moved and they will send you your bills to your new address. Make sure you do tell them though as i made the same mistake and didnt bother which they have now caught up with me and im still paying it now

In most states, the only one that can cancel utility is the person on record with the utility company. If the seller does not notify the utility company and the new owner tries to get the utilities in their name, the utility company can refuse to switch the utilities over. That means the sellers will be responsible for the utilities until they notify the utility company. The owner will be responsible for the utilities from the day they are switched into his name. The seller is committing a "theft of services" and can go to jail if the utility company decides to press charges against him.

all the purchaser does is take a reading when he enters the house, any gas used up to him is not his responsibility the gas company can chase up the previous occupant.

you are supposed to let company know when you move house so they can switch over outstanding bills for you.


has no name
hmmmm I am hoping you have a family attorney..but I think the person that created the bill is responsible and not the house.

This will only happen if the new owner does not call the utilitie company which they should do on the day they move in or before.

Providing the new purchaser takes meter readings at the time of transfer any previous bills will not be their responsibility x

it has to be settled before the new owner takes posession and you should report your friend to the utility company as that is just plain stealing


alatoruk
new person moving in will notify gas company on move date and give opening reading - then the gas company will track your friend down because its not yet been possible to sell a house you dont own, and if you own it your name is on file in all sorts of places.

and new owner, not wishing to upset gas company, will give them friends forwarding address

and to be on safe side gas company will estimate in THEIR favour.

After you leave i wouldn't worry about it . The new owners will not be charged for it.

Yes, the homeowner can sell the house without having a lien towards the house without buyer being responsible. Not public water/sewer and taxes which is usually pro-rated at settlement. The gas conmpany or electric will put a judgement on the credit report. Buyer can change over everything once he has a contract of sale with a settlement date. Any questions shoot me an e-mail at denjrealtormel@aol.com

she will have a lien on her house. the gas co. will take it out of the money first that shes receives for the house.

It will probably come back to them if they ever find the connection.
