An RTO agreement is subject to credit approval. The landlord is subject to all CenterPoint Energy requirements applicable to the service provided, including but not limited to timely payment, security deposits and disconnection of service. Please note the submission and receipt of the RTO application does not guarantee a previously scheduled disconnection of service will be cancelled.

After your initial LLOA is in-place, you can modify it anytime and add additional locations or remove locations.


Common questions 

How do I update the Landlord Leave On Agreement? 

  • ​You may revise your existing LLOA at any time. Starting a completely new LLOA is not necessary if you are adding or removing properties to/from your existing agreement. 

How do I cancel a Landlord Leave On Agreement? 

  • To remove all of your properties and end your existing agreement, please send us​ written notification indicating you wish to end your existing LLOA. Your agreement will remain active and you will retain responsibility for service at your location(s) until written notification is received. ​
