Pacific Power Pacific power tells you your landlord agreement protects you the landlord, but all it does is protect Pacific Power and the tenant. Extreme pricing! Portland Oregon

     First off Pacific Power is billing me for my tentants power bill, the tenant called it in two weeks before they were out.  Of course, I am not notified they put the electricity in my name and I am now responsible for their bill.  This is not the first time this has happened.  I took possession of the home November 27, 2016, my tenant had it put the electricity in my name on November 15, 2016.

     Second, the period I had possession of the home until I had a new tenant was thirteen days.  I had all the electricity off, including the furnace.  With this said I will now break down my billing from Pacific Power:

      Power bill from November 15, 2016 to November 22, 2016  =  $ 51.97

      Power bill from November 22, 2016 to December 1, 2016   =  $ 226.22

      Power bill from December 1, 2016 to December 13,2016    = $99.88

      Grand total of $378.07  

      This total amount first of all is in no way realistic, no one was in the home for 13 of those days,  and I personally turned everything off.  Second, landlords need protection against what I belieive is a crime for  billing us for the tenants electricity.  Pacific Power urges landlords to sign a land lord agreement making you believe you are protected from theses things.  It does not protect the landlord, it only protects them. 

      Not only being billed for my tenants electricity use is outrageous, but the amounts billed, at a time I know the weather was good and there was no one in the home for thirteen days, is even more outrageous.
