Summary
In Washington, Planned Unit Development (PUD) laws vary by location, offering flexibility in zoning and land use. For utility services, like power restoration, utility companies may require identification, proof of ownership or tenancy, and sometimes a deposit. If a lease includes multiple parties, all must be in good standing with the utility provider. If a roommate has outstanding issues, it may affect service restoration. To resolve this, contact the utility provider, discuss the issue, and consider mediation. If unresolved, seek help from the Washington State Attorney Generals Consumer Protection Division, Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, or local legal aid organizations like Northwest Justice Project.Full Conversation
I have questions regarding residential pud laws and getting power turned on in my new house
Hey ****! Let's start with the PUD laws. Are you looking for information on zoning regulations or utility services related to your property?
Yes
In Washington, Planned Unit Development (PUD) laws can vary by county or city. Generally, PUDs are designed to provide flexibility in zoning and land use. For utility services, like getting power turned on, you usually need to contact your local utility provider. Is there a specific aspect of PUD laws you're concerned about?
My new house doesn't have power so I went down to the pud office to put the bill in my name and restore power. I brought them my last

It seems like you're dealing with a utility service issue. When setting up a new account for power, the utility company might require identification, proof of ownership or tenancy, and sometimes a deposit. Have they specified any additional requirements or reason for delay in restoring power?
I brought them my last

It seems like there might be an incomplete response. Could you please clarify what you brought to the PUD office? This will help in understanding any additional requirements they might need from you.
I brought them my lease agreement which has my roommates name on it too. Because of who my roommate is they wouldn't restore power. Shouldn't that not matter because I am the one taking responsibility for the bill?

In Washington, utility companies often require all parties listed on a lease to be in good standing for services. If your roommate has outstanding issues with the utility provider, it might affect service restoration. You could try:
- Discussing the issue with the provider directly.
- Seeking mediation assistance.
- Asking your roommate to resolve any issues with the utility.
Would you like more information on how to proceed with this?
