What Spanish Fork Real Estate Rental Owners, Property Managers and Landlords Need to Know:
- If a rental property is occupied by a tenant, then rental property owners and landlords need to fill out a Landlord Service Agreement. This agreement serves a couple of purposes. First, it lets the city know who owns the property in case there are questions or concerns. Second, it indicates if the landlord would like services to be disconnected or go back into the landlord’s name in between tenants.
- While a rental is unoccupied, an owner will need to fill out a Residential Utility Application that will put utility services in the landlord’s name until a tenant moves in.
