When we were doing the fall maintenance on the furnaces on the 4 plex, we discovered that the gas meter on the vacant unit had been "booted." Apparently we aren't the only ones that the former tenant ran out on. We have a default account set up with the gas company so when a tenant moves, the company automatically transfers it back to us. We found out that doesn't happen when the tenant runs out - and the gas was turned off for non-payment and it didn't even cross my mind to check.
Anyway, I met the gas guy there yesterday to have the gas turned back on yesterday so the apartment won't freeze up!
Meanwhile, Dwight got the new door put up for the tenants next door and the furnace fixed at Mom's house. Whew!
If you are thinking about becoming a landlord - think twice. Here's our experience managing rentals in northern Colorado.
