Post Body

I just moved into a new house. The first thing I saw was the previous owner had arears (approx $250) on the water bill which have been added onto the property tax. I have paid the bill and sent the invoice to the sellers lawyer via my lawyer but we haven’t heard from them for almost 2 weeks now.

I have yet to receive my first HydroOne bill and am concerned that there may be unpaid electricity bill as well. Will that get transferred to me? When I called HydroOne to set up an account they didn’t mention anything about unpaid bill nor did I ask since at that time I hadn’t found out about the water arrears.
