HB 2425 Delinquent sewer & water fees; authority to provide 30 days notice prior to recording lien.
Introduced by: Riley E. Ingram | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Delinquent sewer and water fees and charges; notice. Requires that prior to recording a lien on an owner's property for a tenant's unpaid water or sewer fees, the water or sewer authority shall provide the owner with 30 days' written notification. The owner can avoid the lien by paying the obligations. If the former tenant pays the authority after the owner already has, the property owner shall be entitled to receive a refund and shall be subrogated against the former tenant in place of the authority in the amount paid by the property owner. Additionally, this legislation requires an authority to notify a property owner, if he so requests, of a tenant's delinquent water bill when a tenant's water bill has become 15 days delinquent. Furthermore, a locality or service authority may not deny service to a new tenant for unpaid fees and charges unless a lien has been recorded against the property owner. This bill is identical to SB 1216.
