Very easy.</p> http://www.streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/3567-newbie-landlord-con-ed-account-question?comment_id=37007 http://www.streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/3567-newbie-landlord-con-ed-account-question?comment_id=37007 <p>Hey guys... I know some of you know the answers to my questions! Your help is appreciated!</p> <p>I am a newbie landlord. I am planning to rent out my my condo in about a month after the closing. </p> <p>In purchase agreement, it says that I have to contact Con Ed within 10 days of purchase to transfer the Con Ed account into my name. Is this necessary since I am renting it out? I know that phone & cable will be tenant's responsibility. But my understanding is that electricity is tenant's responsibility as well. How does this work exactly in rental situation? If I wanted to use the condo myself while it's vacant, I guess I have to open the account in my name first then cancel it after I find the tenant? (and thus repeat this process whenever there's a gap between tenants?) </p> <p>Any help and advise is appreciated!</p> http://www.streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/3567-newbie-landlord-con-ed-account-question?comment_id=36994 http://www.streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/3567-newbie-landlord-con-ed-account-question?comment_id=36994
