(A) A lien shall not attach for Sewer Rates and Charges to a premises which is subject to a legally executed lease that expressly provides that the tenant (and not the landlord) of the Premises or a dwelling unit thereon shall be liable for payment of Sewer Rates and Charges, effective for services which accrue after the date an affidavit is filed by the landlord with the Township. This affidavit shall include the names and addresses of the parties, the expiration date of the lease, and an agreement by the landlord to give the Township 30 days written notice of any cancellation, change, in or termination of the lease. The filing of the affidavit by the landlord shall be accompanied by a true copy of the lease and a security deposit in the amount equal to the User Charge for the preceding 12 monthly billing periods.
(B) Upon the failure of the tenant to pay the Sewer Rates and Charges when due, the security deposit shall be applied by the Township against the unpaid balance, including time price differential, interest, and penalties. The tenant shall immediately make sufficient payment to the Township to reinstate with the Township the amount of the security deposit so advanced. Upon the failure of the tenant to do so within ten days of said advance, the penalties, rights, and remedies set forth in §§ 50.093 and 50.094 shall be applicable with respect to the unpaid Sewer Rates and Charges, including time price differential, interest, and penalties. The security deposit shall be held by the Township without interest and shall be returned to the landlord upon proof of termination of the lease.
