Auto Agreement terms

This Agreement provides the Owner of rental homes and/or apartment complexes an automatic turn-on arrangement whereby an account for electric services will be automatically transferred to the Owner's name when such an account is not in the name of the tenant. The Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) provides this service as a convenience to the Owner only for the cleaning and/or showing of a dwelling.

The Owner and SRP hereby agree as follows:

  • SRP is authorized to render bills for electric service in accordance with its residential electric service rates.
  • A service fee, determined by SRP, will be charged the Owner to initially establish service in the Owner's name for each account. Thereafter when the account is transferred automatically from a tenant's name to the Owner, no service fee will be charged.
  • The Owner must have a permanent account in the Owner's name, and the Owner will provide a security deposit, to be determined by SRP, for each automatic turn-on account. The deposit will be held on the Owner's permanent account until this Agreement is terminated. At such time, said deposit, less any sums owed to SRP by the Owner, will be returned to the Owner. The deposit is subject to periodic review and may be adjusted and increased by SRP according to SRP's security deposit guidelines.
  • The Owner will be responsible for payment of bills rendered for service on the account until a new tenant requests service in his or her name. It is the Owner's responsibility to insure that a new tenant applies for service in the tenant's name.
  • If the Owner rents apartments or units with utilities included, this Agreement is nullified and the security deposit will be evaluated and increased according to SRP's deposit guidelines.
  • If the tenant does not apply for service and the Owner requests that service be turned-off, a service fee will be charged the Owner to reinstate service in his name. The Owner acknowledges and agrees that the Owner will have no authority to order SRP to disconnect service to any account held in the name of a tenant so long as such tenant is in possession of the premises.
  • If a tenant's service is terminated for non-payment, the Owner or the Owner's representative must provide SRP with the SRP reference number for reinstatement of service in such cases. If the Owner wants service connected the same day or on a Saturday, a premium fee will be charged. There will be no charge for connections made the following work day (Monday through Friday).
  • The Owner must provide written notice to SRP to cancel the automatic arrangement for any account or group of accounts covered by this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, all accounts included in this Agreement will be canceled and services terminated.
  • SRP may cancel this Agreement without notice to the Owner should the Owner be delinquent in payment on any account or be in default or in violation of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or SRP's Rules and Regulations. Otherwise this Agreement may be canceled upon 30 days written notice by either party.
