The Bella Vista Water Department does not give renters their own account number, the tenants have the same account number as the homeowner. We learned this when we were asked by the property manager about our high water bill for that one month. Personally, I think it is outrageous that no one informed us of this. The water bill comes with our name on it, but the account number is actually the homeowners, so the homeowner is sent a copy. The reasoning is that the homeowner needs to know if the water is shut off. How does this affect credit bureau reporting?
Tenants do not have rights to privacy in Bella Vista. Arkansas, in general, does not protect tenants. In other states tenants essentially "temporarily own" the property while they are paying rent and/or have a lease. In Arkansas, tenants basically are without rights. The lease is almost meaningless.
We have rental properties in another state and we do not treat tenants in this manner.
This would be incentive to buy a home in Arkansas. But if you want to leave, selling could be an issue as it was for owner of the home we are in. This is just another example of the reason that Bella Vista's POA is despised by most residents.
I want out as soon as the lease is up. Anywhere is better than having your peace disrupted by Bella Vista POA.
