Small Multi-Family Water

[Jason Winter]

Hello BP Community,

I have a small MF (triplex) property in Philadelphia PA. The tenants pay their own gas and electric but like most mf properties in the city, the landlord is responsible for water. Recently the water bills have been high and the last months bill is extraordinarily high for 3 units. How do I address this? 

My first response is to reach out to the tenants and inform them of the extremely high water bill and to ask them to check if there are any leaky faucets or running toilets. I assume that wont go anywhere so i'm hoping to get some more experienced advice on this. I appreciate any and all feedback.

Thanks,

Jason W
