Renting an old House Hack by the Room

Hello all, 

I have vacated one of my properties and where I use to house hack. Since the other two rooms are currently rented by the room, I will be renting out the room I use to stay in to a different person and continue renting it by the room. 

My question is: now that I will be renting out the house by the room and all renters are individuals, how do I go about having them pay for utilities (Wi-Fi, water, gas, electric, water)? 

My initial thought was to keep the utilities in my name and connected to my credit card, and having them pay me directly for the utilities, but maybe there's a more efficient way to go about this? I want to continue managing the property, so I don't want to hand over management responsivities to anyone else. I feel that I cannot expect one of them to take care of the bills and having the other roommates pay him for utilities because he may see that as a type of property management and charge me for it. 

Any ideas on a more efficient way to go about this?
