Any landlord whose dwelling units and rental agreements meet the conditions prescribed in § 50.02(A) through (E) of this subchapter shall sign an agreement providing that the landlord shall be responsible for all unpaid utilities. If the landlord does not sign the agreement, the landlord must arrange to have an individual meter to all units by January 2, 2017. The landlord shall be deemed primarily liable to the town’s municipal water utility for services provided to the dwelling units on and after the billing for water and sewage utilities for the month of January 2017 if a notice of disconnect is sent to landlord. Once a notice of disconnect has been issued and the billing for water and sewage are not paid within seven days and the dwelling unit has become eligible for disconnection, the landlord shall be responsible for the tenant’s utilities unless the tenant moves, voluntarily or involuntarily.
