Chapter 15 - Service and Facilities
1524 - Request to landlord to identify tenants.

     § 1524.  Request to landlord to identify tenants.
        (a)  Duty of public utility and landlord.--At least 37 days
     before the termination of service, it is the duty of any public
     utility to request from the landlord ratepayer the names and
     addresses of the affected tenants. Upon receiving such a request
     for the names and addresses of the affected tenants pursuant to
     this subchapter, the landlord ratepayer shall provide the
     utility with the names and addresses of every affected tenant of
     any residential building or mobile home park for which the
     utility is proposing to terminate service unless within seven
     days of delivery or mailing of the notice the landlord ratepayer
     pays the amount due the utility or makes an arrangement with the
     utility to pay the balance.
        (b)  Time for providing information.--The information shall
     be provided by the landlord ratepayer:
            (1)  within seven days of receipt of a request from a
        public utility for tenants' names under subsection (a);
            (2)  within seven days of delivery or mailing of the
        notice to the landlord ratepayer required by section 1523
        (relating to notices before service to landlord terminated);
            (3)  within three days of any adjudication by the
        commission that the landlord ratepayer must provide the
        requested information if the landlord files a complaint with
        the commission within seven days of receipt of the notice to
        the landlord disputing the right of the utility to terminate
        service; or
            (4)  upon such terms as may be ordered by a court in an
        action brought by the utility under section 1532(b) (relating
        to penalties).
        (c)  Right of public utility.--In the event the public
     utility is unable to obtain the names and addresses of all
     affected tenants from the landlord ratepayer, the public utility
     may pursue any appropriate legal or equitable remedy it has in
     order to obtain from the landlord ratepayer the names and
     addresses of all affected tenants of a residential building or
     mobile home park for which the utility is proposing termination
     of service to the landlord ratepayer. The commission may order
     the public utility to obtain the information from the landlord
     ratepayer.
