Importance of Third Party Notice

When electric service is disconnected for non-payment, there can be consequences for both the property manager and/or owner as well as the tenant involved. The importance of the Third Party Notice is that it is a signed document by both parties. If a disconnection letter is mailed, both parties will receive a copy. This allows the property manager and/or owner to be notified when their property is in jeopardy of being disconnected.

Other helpful information:

• Property managers and/or owners can avoid unnecessary disconnections by contacting MVEC to transfer service back to the owner.
• If property is occupied, please ensure your tenants have contacted MVEC to set up an account in their name. Account set up fees apply.
• If service is disconnected, a reconnection fee will be applied to the account set up in either the property managers and/or owner’s name or the tenant’s name.

MVEC recommends property managers and/or owners have their tenants complete the Third Party Notice form – before keys are issued. The form must be signed by both resident and property manager to be valid.
