Spear Northwest does not manage tenant-responsibility utilities. To ensure properties are maintained and to prevent service interruption between tenants, all utility accounts must revert to the Owner's name and billing address during vacancies (not be shut off).
Action Required: To prevent utility shutoffs, you must set up an "Automatic Hook-Up Agreement" (also known as a "Landlord Agreement" or "Revert to Owner" agreement) with each provider (especially power, water, and gas). Please contact your providers to request this.
Common Portland Providers:
- PGE (Electric)
- NW Natural (Gas)
- Portland Water Bureau (Water) - Water/Sewer varies by city
