This should be done within 7 days of the start of the tenancy and copies of the readings must be given to our office. The current supplier for gas and electricity supplied to the premises must not be changed.
You are liable for the cost of all utilities throughout your tenancy. This includes both standing and usage charges for gas, electric, telephone (including connection/disconnection), council tax, TV licence, cable/Satellite TV Charges and internet
