    Landlord Standby Program

    Landlord Standby is a contractual agreement between PNM and a landlord.

    Under the agreement, when a tenant moves out of a rental property and requests that service be taken out of his or her name, PNM will:

    • Provide a final bill to the tenant.
    • Continue to provide service under the landlord's name.

    Benefits:

    • Service will remain on, even when the rental property is unoccupied.
    • No need to call when a tenant moves out.
    • No transfer fees so long as the service goes straight from the tenant's name to yours.
    • Landlord Standby is free.
