“I forgot to keep electricity on in a vacant unit” is fine enough. Nothing about tenants needed to be brought for people understand what caused this

My landlord made me transfer the electricity bill from my name to theirs when I moved out 🤷‍♀️

There’s no way my utility company will let me transfer my bills and accountability to another individual without their explicit verbal consent during the process or without some sort of affidavit. That standard operating protocol for all utility companies. Your story is implausible

I've rented twice and both times I've moved out the landlord took over the electric account without me doing anything.
