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.
