Write a letter to a utility about bills in a former tenant's name that now reach me. Details I will supply: utility [UTILITY_NAME], address [PROPERTY_ADDRESS], my move-in date [MOVE_IN_DATE], name on account [NAME_ON_ACCOUNT], bills received [BILLS_RECEIVED], proof of my occupancy dates [OCCUPANCY_PROOF]. The letter should state my dates, ask them to open an account in my name from move-in, and remove my liability for earlier bills. Give the move-in date, the opening meter reading with its photo, and the name on the letters addressed to the property. Ask the utility to open an account in my name from the move-in date, to treat earlier usage as the former tenant's, and to confirm in writing that I am not liable for it. What to collect first: Lease, move-in reading photos, bills, and ID. Reasonable asks: A new account, a corrected bill, and removal of earlier debt. The usual pushback: Utilities may say the address is liable; reply by asking for the policy. Start by making an exhibit table for the utilities left in a former tenant's name billing letter (exhibit, what it is, what it shows), name what I still lack, and then write the letter and refer to the exhibits. Deliver the letter together with a short cover note, around 50 words, followed by an if-ignored ladder (ask billing, then complaints, then regulator), plus a proof checklist (lease, readings, bills). Send the letter as a PDF attachment, and archive the thread and any automatic reply and do not delete any reply. Stay calm, plain and courteous, threatening nothing beyond lawful steps, put the date from [DEADLINE] on any request, and say where an outcome is uncertain. Draft this in my own voice as a private individual, without posing as counsel. Invent no statute or deadline; work from [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] and nothing else, and tell me to verify the exact law with a professional. None of this is legal advice.
