How to Register for the PGW Landlord Cooperation Program
If you are a landlord in the city of Philadelphia, you should be aware that a tenant’s unpaid gas bill can be attached to your property and charged back to you. The good news is, there is a way to protect yourself! By registering for PGW’s Landlord Cooperation program, you can let PGW know that yours is a legally operated rental property. If the tenant does fail to pay the bill, you will be notified and your or your Philadelphia property management company will be asked to assist PGW in entering the property for the purpose of shutting off the gas. As long as you co-operate, the gas will remain attached only to the tenant’s credit and you will not be charged.
Here's how to register:
- Go to https://www3.pgworks.com/lcp/
- You will need to create an account, or if you already have one, log into your existing account. It should be noted that you may need to scroll down for the Landlord Cooperation log in. It may not be visable from your main account, which you access through the first log in screen you seen.
- Next, click the link to “register residential rental properties”
- Carefully read over and accept the terms and conditions
- Next you will need to enter your active rental license number. You will not be able to register for this program without an active rental license.
