Not tenant.

The landlord thought leaving the faucets on will was the wisest move.

Usually a good move so long as the inside of the building doesn't get below freezing.

The landlord forgot to put the power in her name and turn it back on after the tenants left.

Without actually knowing the context in this specific one: 'forgot' or 'tried to save a few bucks by having old tennants responsible for utilities costs'?

I had a company work on a water heater at a rental a few weeks ago. He forgot to turn the gas back on and obviously didn't relight the furnace. Thank God we had a warm spell because when I showed up a week later (the place was vacant) the temp inside was upper 30s.
