Do the neighbors know they are using their electricity? If they do then let it be. Maybe suggest some agencies that might be able to help out with what they owe the utility company. If they are otherwise good tenants, why not help out with a little info?

You could put the electric in your name and have the tenant sign an adendum to their lease that indicates you will be increasing their rent to cover the exact cost of the utilities.
If the tenant defaults on the rent than you have the ability to evict. If the client is unwilling to sign the new adendum than they are probably in violation of their lease. Check the section of property maintenance. I am sure you have verbage that covers this event, right?

Having no electricity in "YOUR" place can cause damage to it - pipes WILL burst, and you will be lef to foot the bill.
Time to evict them.......

Flipping houses is a great profession to be in. I currently flip houses for a living, and have had a blast making hundred's of thousands of dollars. The key is to do as much work as you can on your own.
Did you know that you can make $40,000 + on a house, and never even own it?
Take a look at my website - I just put it online last month -
Please realize that Flipping Houses is not a "Get Rich Quick" Scam!
Do as much research as possible before starting on your first flip -

It should be in their lease that they have to have the utilities on for the duration of their lease. You could call the Department of Family Services if they have kids. The person needs to take responsibility and get their finances in order.

It is not your business. They are stealing from the neighbors, not you.
