TENANT/ALTERNATE BILLING TERMS
City utility services are lien-able against the Property served. Utility accounts will remain in the name of the Property Owner
and retain the existing account number.
This agreement will continue so long as the utility account is kept current. This agreement automatically terminates should
the account become seriously delinquent, property management ceases, or the tenant vacates the Property.
Any change in tenant/alternate billing voids this agreement, requires the Property Owner to submit a new agreement, and a
$5 fee will be assessed for each change. If the tenant nor Property Owner clear all unpaid charges, no similar agreement will
be allowed by the city. Outstanding charges may become a lien against the real property served.
The City of Renton will not prorate bills or attempt to collect any balance due from a prior tenant/alternate party. A per diem
is provided on the Property Owner’s statement of the average daily rate.
I acknowledge that as the Property Owner, I am responsible for all utility service charges provided to the Property. I agree to pay the
account balance in full, including any applicable penalties and collection costs. I understand that the transfer of billing requested
will not take place until the existing account balance is paid in full. Billings made in the name of the tenant/alternate party are for the
Owner’s convenience only and do not relieve the Owner from liability to pay for services provided to the Property, nor in any way affect
lien rights against the Property. I certify that I have read, understand, and agree to abide by the terms of this agreement.
Property Owner/Manager name Property Owner/Manager signature Date
Verification: agreement must include a legible copy of the Property Owner’s driver’s license/state identification or may be notarized.
