the current company is the lowest cost propane supplier, and they keep

I think I didn't make it clear that I was just lining up my ducks.

I agree with you, it matters not who owns it as long as they don't
charge me for them owning it.

I asked the question only because I only recently found out that they
say they own it - and I expect them to say that I need to pay rent
at some point in the future.

Or, I might want to go to a different supplier, and, if so, I can no
longer file an affidavit that implies that I own it.

At either of those points, it matters greatly who owns it.
That's why I care now.
Before one of those two things happens.
