Landlords
Vacancy Billing Agreement (VBA)
If a landlord enters into a VBA, when a tenant notifies IREA to have service taken out of their name it will automatically go back into the landlord’s name.
A VBA will not:
Stop service from being disconnected due to a tenant’s nonpayment; or
Put the service in the landlord’s name if service is shut off for nonpayment.
