<prompt> Human: So I am renting. Moved into a new place 8 months ago and never got the electricity switched over to my name. I figured Id just do it when the lights got switched off from the previous tenant canceling things.The electric never got shut off. Its not in my or my roommates name. Weve never seen a bill for it. The previous tenant moved to the same town, maybe they are paying for both places and dont know it??? They should have the same provider.Anyway, summer is here. And normally we are ultra conservative about running the AC because of the costs. But this summer Im thinking about just running the thing non stop since Im not paying for it.But... I am worried Ill get a request for a years worth of payment sometime down the line and dont want to dig that hole even deeper. Figured I should ask PF what to do.Im sure someones going to ask why I havent over these 8 months contacted the electric company... answer is Im getting free electricity and dont want to mess it up.  <response>: yes.i bought a house, it had 2 meters, I switched it to my name, only 1 meter got switched it seemed. I kept quiet.6 months later, I got my 1000 power bill.
