Reply to notifying utility companies of tenant change

by ash72

I've not found any short-cuts, as each company has their own quirks on dealing with this. It usually takes a couple of calls to a customer services person to provide the information, due to GDPR they wont say anything about the exiting T.

It has become even more important than ever to get the right tenant, this is due...
