Are you letting us know that the tenant is
Moving in Moving out of this address.
Effective date: (Please note that we do not back-date service.)

Tenant Billing Address:
Tenant Telephone #:
I understand that the utility bill will remain my responsibility and I agree to pay it if my tenant does not. I
understand that utility billings are a lien against the property served and that failure to pay same will result in
foreclosure of such lien as prescribed by the laws of the State of Washington.
For accuracy of billing, it is my responsibility to notify The City of Sumner of vacancy or other changes in billing
information as soon as possible. If I fail to notify the City of changes in occupancy, it will be my responsibility to
work out how the bill will be prorated with my tenant.
I understand that the utility bill will not be sent to the tenant until all accounts for this address are in good
standing, with all previous account balances paid. This additional tenant billing is an accommodation to me, but I
remain the party with whom the City is contracting for utilities. This accommodation is for my sole benefit and
does not create a contractual relationship between the tenant and the City of Sumner.
I understand that each time there is a change of tenants, I must renew this agreement. Each time I close an
account there will be a Final Bill Fee of $40.00. Fees are listed at www.sumnerwa.gov in the Municipal Code. I
further understand that if neither the tenant nor I pay any unpaid bill on this account that no similar agreement
will be allowed by the City of Sumner.
