Honestly, I don't know. We rented through the owner of the house, and the bills were in the last tenant's name(s).... i have to send a tenant agreement so they can verify I'm not those people trying to open another account (I assume...)
Not much I can do at this point, other than hope they do not shut off all power/gas etc to the house. I will have a busy afternoon after work trying to sort this all out!!
edit: and I should add, the landlord/owner is very good. These people left the house in a real mess, and the landlord could not get a hold of them to get a code for one of the locks (now changed...) so I don't imagine there would be anything he would be able to do anyhow.... sigh. Just one of those things.
update: Everything finally got resolved. After about 10 phone calls, 4 faxes, and an email.... man. what a pain! LOL. I just want internet at home!!!
