     § 1529.1.  Duty of owners of rental property.
        (a)  Notice to public utility.--It is the duty of every owner
     of a residential building or mobile home park which contains one
     or more dwelling units, not individually metered, to notify each
     public utility from whom utility service is received of their
     ownership and the fact that the premises served are used for
     rental purposes.
        (b)  History of account.--Upon receipt of the notice provided
     in this section, if the mobile home park or residential building
     contains one or more dwelling units not individually metered, an
     affected public utility shall forthwith list the account for the
     premises in question in the name of the owner, and the owner
     shall thereafter be responsible for the payment for the utility
     services rendered thereunto. In the case of individually metered
     dwelling units, unless notified to the contrary by the tenant or
     an authorized representative, an affected public utility shall
     list the account for the premises in question in the name of the
     owner, and the owner shall be responsible for the payment for
     utility services to the premises.
        (c)  Failure to give notice.--Any owner of a residential
     building or mobile home park failing to notify affected public
     utilities as required by this section shall nonetheless be
     responsible for payment of the utility services as if the
     required notice had been given.
