Home Buyers: Beware of Rental Water Heaters!

Buying a home with rental water heater from Enercare, Reliance or other company means that consumers will either have to pay $30-$60/month rental rate forever or pay $1000-$6000 cancellation fee in order to terminate rent if water heater was installed after Sep 15, 2010. The reason of such outrageous cancellation fee is rental agreement specifying the only option to terminate it is to buy rental water heater. Here is a way to go around it (at least to reduce consumer’s loss)
