Hi,
I am in the process of evicting a tenant for non-payment of rent. Icontacted the electricity company (airtricity) just to ensure the account had not been transferred into my name unknown to me as I was aware their were arrears on her electricity account too. Airtricity infomred me that it hadn't been transferred into my name but that the supply was currently at risk of disconnection. They couldn't tell me when exactly it would be disconnected but told me any arrears would remain with the tenant and would not be my responsibility - BUT that I would be liable for not only the reconnection fee - but also the disconnection fee. I said surely the disconnection fee should be added to the arrears accrued by the tenant and not to me??? It seems not - has nayone ever experienced this or does anyone have any advice in regards to this?
