Past Due Water Bill

October 25th, 2013 at 09:30 pm

We got a past due sewer/water bill today. It's from our former residence. It seems that our renter left without paying her water bill. The amount past due is $145.12. Apparently she went a while without paying.

Included in the mailing is the form I signed on July 16, 2011 acknowledging that we were responsible for any unpaid balance. There's also a cover letter citing the city ordinance (1044.12) that allows for placing a lien on the property for any unpaid sewer/water service.

Darn it.

I know I'm morally obligated to pay the bill. But I don't want to. I want to be done with that money pit of a house.

    Understandable that you do not want to pay. I'd pay it, but attempt to collect from your former tenant if you have a way to contact them.

    I would assume that the security deposit would cover it?

    Very annoying. Will cross our fingers; hope that is the last of it!

    Ugh - sorry. Hopefully you have some way to collect as others have suggested. If not, at least you'll know that YOU did the right thing even if the renter didn't.
