FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why does a Las Vegas utility company require a landlord affidavit to start new service if a previous tenant left an outstanding balance?

Utilities ask for a notarized landlord affidavit when a prior tenant left a balance so they can verify the new applicant is not related to the debtor. This sworn statement is typically completed with a jurat, which means the landlord appears, takes an oath or affirmation, and signs in the notary’s presence. The jurat gives the utility a reliable record that supports account setup while they pursue the old debt separately.

We meet owners and managers in Paradise, Enterprise, Centennial Hills, and North Las Vegas. For forms that name an agent, we can also notarize the Power of Attorney. See Affidavits and Sworn Statements and Notary with Witnesses Provided.
