Selling a vacant home
If you plan to move out of your New Orleans home while it is being sold, did you know that you can have your sanitation service discontinued? It will save you $24/month off of your water bill – important since you need to keep the utilities on while selling a vacant home. While it’s important to have the gas, electric, and water functioning, there’s no need to pay for trash pickup when no one is living there.
