Telephone contract in Owner's or Tenant's name?

[steveosiris]

You should definitely have your tenant set up the telephone line in their own name, and not in your name. It is best just to be careful and not have to deal with the worst case scenario.

Hi,

Does anyone know whether it can be dangerous to let their tenant set up a telephone/internet contract in their name? I'm worried that if they don't pay their bill and leave then it will be my responsibility to pay.

I'd really appreciate any comments.

Thank you
