(A) The services of each village utility shall be deemed to be furnished to the owner of the premises and to the occupant thereof and to the user of the services. The owner and the occupant and the user shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all charges for such services. Such services are furnished to the premises by the village only upon the condition that the owner of the premises and the occupant thereof and the user of the services are jointly and severally liable therefor to the village.
(B) All applicants for service shall complete an application in a form prescribed by the village. In the case of residential rental property, the application shall contain a place for the landlord to co-sign. As set forth in § 50.069 of this code, the amount of the deposit may differ depending on whether the landlord cosigns the application. The failure of a landlord to cosign a tenant’s application does not absolve the landlord from joint and several liability with the tenant, or insulate the property served from imposition of a lien for nonpayment as set forth in § 50.12 of this chapter.
