# How do I transfer utilities?

Nomad partners with Utility Connect to simplify the utility setup process for tenants as they move in to a Nomad property. Depending on the utilities that will be the tenant's responsibility, Utility Connect will find providers and provide support in the process of getting the utilities moved into the tenant's name.

How Does It Work?

- **Triggering setup:** When a landlord sets up a lease and marks the tenant’s utility responsibilities, they’ll receive an email to provide any required details (e.g., account numbers). This ensures the tenant has everything needed to complete the utility setup. The current utility options are Electric, Gas, Water, Sewer, Trash, and Internet.
- **Tenant communication:** The tenant then receives an email from Sunroom Rentals/Utility Connect with instructions to complete their utility setup for any that are their responsibility. If a utility was set as "landlord responsibility", the tenant will not be asked to set it up.
- **Utility requirements:** Depending on the provider, some companies require specific information to establish service in the tenant’s name, while others simply need a billing address.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the homeowner directly using their contact information found in your Resident Portal.
