It was €300 and DD the last time I took over an ESB account. €300 is returned after 12 months good behaviour.

You sure that wasn't an error on your part to supply the 2?
See the first link i posted in a previous post above.

It states yoe can avoid the €300 by opening up a DD.

...Is there a new method- not disimilar to the good old fashioned meters - available whereby tenants can buy "credit" in a newsagent with ESB credit (similar to that for pay-as-you-go mobile phones)? They can then top up their meters every few days. It sounds like a perfect solution to an age old problem. I overheard someone talking about this. Perhaps they were talking about paying bills in a foreign country....

Has anyone got any information on this ESB credit?

Is there an alternative way to sort out ESB bill with tenants?

I give tenants two options when they move into a property:

1. They can leave bills in my name but I will withold €300 of their deposit upon departure until a final reading is done and the bill is paid. I then forward a cheque to cover the reminder to a nominated person.

2. The tenants can put ESB in their own name but this often doesn't work if there are a bunch of students etc

Thanks in advance.

you may wish to consider getting esb to fit pre-payment meter, the tenants simply buy tokens from there local pay point outlet ,ie (credit union) etc. No tokens = no electric :D
