Electricity is not included in your lease agreement. Please follow the instructions below outline the process on how to setup an electricity account (one per apartment) as mentioned during the leasing process and per the terms of your Lease Agreement. This setup process should have been COMPLETED NO LATER THAN 7 days after move-in. If a head of household has already been established in the unit due to the previous head of household renewing in the same unit, you may disregard this message. All others, all residents should discuss who will be the SCE head of household.

 

​

The SCE electricity setup process:

 

1. All members of the apartment unit will need to discuss who will be the “head of household” on the account (the name on the account). The decided “head of household” will have the option of adding the names of the other members of the apartment on the account.

 

2. The resident in the unit designated as “head of household” will need to contact Southern California Edison at (800) 655-4555 (then press 3, then press 2, and then press 1) to change the electricity account under their name. You will want to “add/transfer an account”.

 

3. Southern California Edison will also ask for your Social Security Number and Driver’s License Number so please have that ready when you call.

 

4. There is a $15.00 Service Establishment Charge that the SCE associate will mention to you. SCE will perform a “soft credit check” with the head of household to find out if they are eligible to have the security deposit waived.  Residents who do not qualify for a waived deposit will need to submit a security deposit directly to Southern California Edison (payment of the security deposit is the responsibility of the head of household. For more information about the security deposit, please ask the SCE associate when you call to setup the new electricity account. Security deposits run anywhere between $0.00-$250.00 and are refundable when the account is closed at the end of the year.

Residents who do not complete the above process by the stated deadline will be in violation of their Lease Agreement and will be in danger of Lease Termination and eviction. Please note that residents will need to contact Southern California Edison at move-out to deactivate their account. In the event the “head of household” moves out of the unit mid-year, they will need to deactivate the account and another member of apartment will need to establish themselves as “head of household”.
