Where a unit or other space in a covered property is occupied by a tenant, and a utility does not provide whole covered property aggregated energy and water data, or such unit or space is separately metered by a utility company, the owner of a covered property shall request from such tenant information relating to the tenant's energy and water use for the previous calendar year, all in accordance with the provisions below:

(1)

No later than 60 days prior to a given benchmarking submission deadline, the owner shall request of each tenant located in a covered property all information that is necessary to comply with the requirements of this article.

When the owner of a covered property receives notice that a tenant intends to vacate a space within such property, such owner shall request information relating to such tenant's energy and water use for any period of occupancy relevant to the owner's obligation to benchmark.

(3)

When a covered property changes ownership, the previous owner shall provide the new owner all information for the months of the calendar year being benchmarked during the time the previous owner was still in possession of the property.
