Landlord Question and Answer Forum
One of my 2 family houses has only one water meter. Could the landlord have the tenants pay the water bill or even part of the water bill? He doesn't believe he could have the tenant's pay because of the ONE METER. I have a tenant now adding more family members to the lease when the landlord had previously quoted the tenants a rental price with less family members renting. I'm sure the landlord will have a larger water and sewer bill with these added occupants??
Thank you,

RE: Water bill
I would take this a step further and get the work done to make it have individual meters. It can cost about $8,000 to get the work done but it may be more worth it in the long run. IF you are not planning on keeping this property for the long-term, then you will want to make utilities included in rent. Then you cover the utilities, but make sure that you make limits on the utility bills in the lease so that they are not exceeding what you can afford.
