No water corporation furnishing water for residential use to a tenant shall seek to recover any charges or penalties for the furnishing of water to or for the tenant’s residential use from any subsequent tenant on account of nonpayment of charges by a previous tenant. The water corporation may, however, require that service to subsequent tenants be furnished on the account of the landlord or property owner.
