Can you leave sky broadband for the next people moving into a property you've just rented?

If you are the broadband account holder then you need to cancel before you move out giving Sky the appropriate 14 days notice or arrange a Sky Home Move.. If the landlord is the account holder you leave everything there.

@Phoebehoy

You shouldn't: you are legally responsible for the equipment and anything it's used for.

@Phoebehoy If the broadband account is in your name then no as you are legally responsible for the account even if you leave the property

sky do not permit the transfer of account ownership
