Bill Summary
Relative to notices of delinquent charges to the owners of rental dwellings. Housing.
AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts law to require gas or electric companies to provide notice to landlords of rental properties when their tenants become delinquent on utility payments. Specifically, if a landlord notifies the utility company in writing that a property is a rental, requests to be notified of tenant delinquencies, and provides a mailing address, the utility company must inform the landlord within 14 days of the tenant's charges becoming past due. This provision aims to give landlords timely information about potential utility shutoffs that could impact their rental properties.
