Failure to pay the utilities is grounds for eviction. If Residents actual utility bill exceeds the Allowance for Utilities, Resident shall be responsible for paying the actual bill to the supplier. If Resident’s actual utility bill is less than the Allowance for Utilities, Resident shall receive the benefit of such savings. The Agency may change the Allowance at any time during the term of the tease, and shall give Resident 30 day’s written notice of the revised Allowance along with any resultant changes in Tenant Rent or Utility Reimbursement.

If Resident's actual utility bill is LESS than the utility allowance, Resident will receive the benefit of such savings.
Resident-Paid Utilities. If Resident resides in a development at which LMH does not supply electricity, or natural gas, LMH will credit Resident with a utility reimbursement appropriate for the size and type of apartment/home and Resident will be responsible to pay the utility bill. If the utility reimbursement exceeds the amount of Resident’s rent, LMH has the option to pay the difference directly to the utility company or to the Resident. If a Resident fails to maintain their utility service while receiving the utility reimbursement directly, Resident forfeits the ability to receive the utility reimbursement directly, and LMH will pay the utility reimbursement directly to the utility provider(s). Resident will maintain utility service in Resident’s name or the name of another adult household member. If Resident fails to maintain a utility service, LMH will issue Resident a 30-day notice to terminate the Lease. Resident will be responsible for all cost-of-service transfer for failure to maintain a utility service. When Resident has control of the heat, Resident agrees to maintain sufficient heat to prevent the pipes from freezing. If Resident is unable to maintain sufficient heat, Resident will immediately notify the Management office. Resident will be charged for any damage resulting from the failure to maintain sufficient heat or to notify management unless the cause was beyond Resident’s control.

The Resident has control of the heating and agrees to maintain sufficient heat to prevent the freezing of pipes. If, for any reason, Resident is unable to maintain sufficient heat, Resident shall immediately notify management. Resident will be charged for any damages resulting from Resident's failure to maintain sufficient heat or to notify management, unless for cause beyond Resident's control.

Resident-Paid Utilities. The PHA shall establish a monthly dollar amount as an Allowance for Resident Supplied Utilities. The amount shall be appropriate for the size and type of dwelling unit occupied by the Resident. The Total Tenant Payment less the Utility Allowance shall equal the Resident Rent. If the Allowance for Utilities exceed the Total Tenant Payment, the PHA will pay a Utility Reimbursement to the Resident and the utility supplier each month (quarterly if amount is $45.00 or less). Residents who have elected to pay a Flat Rent do not receive a utility allowance. Flat and Ceiling Rent amounts already represent the deduction of a Utility Allowance.
