I moved into my new house and was having problems getting the gas turned on. Apparently the old renter had an outstanding balance. When I tried to turn it on they were telling me that I had to pay for the other guys bill before I can turn it on (they thought I was turning it on for him, so he didn't have to pay his bill). Anyway, I told the landlord to call them and let them know that the "other guy" moved out and that they shouldn't be holding me responsible for his bill. Anyway, she did and when she called the lady was telling her about my account history (including a shut off that happened a year and a half ago). I never authorized them to give her information, she was only supposed to tell them that the other guy wasn't living there. I asked the LL why they told her all that stuff, and she didn't know. I guess the lady just started rambling off. So I just wanted to know before I called them to complain if it is legal for them to tell a LL about my account.
