About this term

Utility disconnects require advance notice (typically 5-10 days). Final utility bills will have prorated charges and deposits. Some utilities charge disconnect fees. Coordinating disconnects requires accuracy to avoid charges for unwanted service continuation.

Pro Tip

Schedule utility disconnects for moving day or shortly after. Overlapping service adds costs.
