§ 41-697. Liability of tenants.

(a)

All accounts for the use of light and power shall be kept against the owner of the property described for which the service was installed, providing that any tenant or any person holding property under lease may be supplied with electrical current and power on his own account when proper application is made; and in such cases, the city shall require said applicant to post a deposit with the city as may be necessary and required in any other application for utility service.

(b)

In all cases where a tenant shall make separate application and post bond as required, then in those instances the account for the use of light and power shall be kept against the tenant and not the property owner.
