If you are in a rented property, your landlord might take charge of this, but depending on who is in charge of your energy bills - as should be outlined on your tenancy agreement - you might be expected to send proof of your readings to your landlord. * Let your supplier know that you are moving. If you don't know who supplies you with energy, check a recent energy bill, either online or through the post. Alternatively, head over to our dedicated guide and you'll find out everything you need about your energy supply . * Lastly, it's highly likely that you take on a 'deemed' contract in your new residence, which means that you will continue with the contract that the previous residents of the property had signed up to.
