We were registered as a power supply company and for some unknown reason, we still receive some kind of dividend check even though we haven't lived there for over 3 years.
You may not live there, but you may still be listed as an interest holder in the power supply company. Thus when it earns money, you get a dividend. This is possibly a little bit of chattel attached to a property that wasn't conveyed when the property changed ownership.
This could be a way of creating income without owning the property if one wanted to buy properties, install solar equipment, flip the property but retain the solar payoff.
