Here's your IYC 411 of the day...

Before you move out of your home or rental property...always make sure to suspend or terminate ALL of your services (gas, water, etc.)...especially if those services are in your name. We recently featured a mother of 2 from Midwest City who got slapped with a $6,100 water bill. She moved out of her rental property--didn't suspend her water service--and one of the pipes at her place sprung a leak. As it turns out, even though she wasn't living in the home during the time of the leak...she still owes the city thousands of dollars because the water service is in her name (did I confuse you enough with that explanation???:)
IYC Final Thought: Suspend or terminate ALL services prior to moving out of your home...whether it be a permanent or temporary move.
