AI Summary

  • Establishes Chapter 5325 governing how park operators, landlords, unit owners associations, and other proprietors can charge consumers for resold public utility services (electric, natural gas, water, sewer).

  • Requires proprietors to measure utility consumption through master meters, submeters, or utility-owned meters and charge consumers based on actual consumption or formula-based allocation methods.

  • Limits charges to either actual costs incurred by the proprietor or residential rates in the service territory, whichever applies; proprietors charging actual costs may add one reasonable monthly administrative fee.

  • Requires proprietors to provide prospective consumers with disclosure forms explaining billing methods, common area charges, and potential rate markups before entering rental or service agreements.

  • Allows utility service termination for nonpayment per utility commission or municipal rules; park operators and landlords choosing this remedy waive eviction rights for unpaid utility charges but retain eviction rights for other lease violations.
