This evening, I received a call from one of my tenants. She told me that the gas company had shut the gas off at her house because she smelled gas. She said that they left her a note saying that a certified plumber needed to inspect and repair the gas before they would turn it back on.
I was somewhat annoyed that she called the gas company instead of calling me, but I told her that I would call my plumber tomorrow to come and look at the situation. She said that her uncle was a plumber and that she wanted her uncle to look at it. I told her that we had our own plumber and that she could NOT use her uncle.
About an hour later, I received a second call from this tenant. She said that she had found the problem which was a loose gas line going to the stove. She said that she no longer needed our plumber to come work on the gas. I responded that the gas company would not turn her gas back on until it had been cleared by a licensed gas provider (plumber).
After a short pause, she said that the gas had been turned off on October 14th!!! After questioning, she said that it was shut off for non-payment and that she had paid the bill today.
Have you figured out what's going on here? Think about it and I'll give you the answer in tomorrow's blog.
