This Agreement hereby authorizes Southwest Gas Corporation (hereinafter referred to as 'SWG') to bill for gas services in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to customers by means of an automatic authorization from the owner or authorized agent (hereinafter referred to as 'Landlord') of the property. This Agreement shall be governed by the following terms and conditions mutually agreed to by the respective parties. SWG reserves the right to deny this Agreement. A qualified Landlord is a rental property owner that has established credit with SWG.
SWG will not notify the Landlord each time the account automatically reverts to the Landlord's name. Landlord accounts set up on Automatic Payment Plan (APP) or Electronic Bill Payments will terminate at the time service is discontinued in the Landlord's name. Because of account number changes, a new application will be required to resume either of these payment options when service is reestablished in the Landlord's name.
This Agreement may be canceled by the Landlord or SWG at any time with a 30-day written notification to the other party. The Landlord will remain liable for all costs incurred in the provision of service(s) until proper notice is received by SWG.
The applicable account shall automatically revert to the Landlord's name when the tenant requests disconnection of service. The Landlord shall be liable to SWG for the provision of service(s) when the account reverts to the Landlord's name, whether or not the Landlord is aware that the account has been changed to the Landlord's name.
The Landlord shall be liable for all bills incurred while the applicable account is in his or her name; however, no service establishment fee shall be charged each time the account reverts to the Landlord's name except that the Landlord shall be charged a service establishment fee in the event he or she notifies SWG to discontinue service and subsequently decides to reestablish or reconnect the service in his or her name at the particular residence.
This Agreement shall not apply when a tenant is disconnected for nonpayment of gas bills.
It is the obligation of the Landlord or the tenant to notify SWG of any changes in occupancy. All notices required by the Landlord to SWG and any other changes in this Agreement requested by the Landlord including, but not limited to, changes in the applicable residences and mailing addresses must be in writing. It is the Landlord's responsibility to notify SWG if there is a change of ownership of the property. (FAX and e-mail notification is acceptable)
This Agreement shall be canceled, without notice, if any of the accounts listed become delinquent, service is discontinued for nonpayment, or any final bills are left unpaid while in the Landlord's name.
This Agreement does not prevent SWG from discontinuing service(s) for nonpayment of bills, fraudulence or noncompliance with SWG rules and regulations on file with the appropriate state Commission.
A change in Property Management will require a new Landlord Agreement to be executed.
I have read and fully understand the terms and conditions governing this Agreement. As evidence thereof, I have affixed my signature.
Letters of Credit within the past 24 months of service are accepted from a natural gas or electric utility if it meets Southwest Gas credit criteria.
