Q: In Colorado is it a law that my water company is to notify my landlord of anything going on with my bills ?
I live in Castle Rock Colorado and I am being told by my water company that anything that goes on with my bill they have to notify my landlord even though I still live in the home. That's an invasion of my privacy why do they need to know anything that goes on with my bills in my house as long as they're getting paid? Is this legal?
A: Yes it is legal and that is the way utilities in CO operate. Because, if the tenant fails to pay the water bill the landlord will have to pay the debt created by the tenant in order to get the water turned on for the next tenant.
