Know Your Rights and Responsibilities as a Landlord
In the City of Henderson, landlords are responsible for any unpaid balance left on a tenant account. Past due balances must be paid before new service can be started at a property and may ultimately be subject to a lien.
The Henderson Municipal Code 14.17.060.c states:
“Collection of delinquent charges. Outstanding bills for water and/or sewer services and related fees shall be charged to the owner of the property should the tenant not render payment in full. Such charge shall constitute a lien upon the property to which the service is rendered, as well as constitute a debt of the record owner(s) of the property and of the person(s) occupying such premises to the city. The lien shall be enforced in compliance with Henderson Municipal Code Title 5.04.050 Sections D and E, Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 266, and Henderson City Charter Section 2.280.”
