Small Multi-family Utilities!
Hey guys, I am a new land lord house hacking a triplex. How should we handle the utilities? we are all on separate power meters but the rest is all combined to include a dumpster.
Can I have all utilities in my name and then legally charge the tenants a % of the total bill each month?

@Samuel Fletcher Hardy yes you can divide the rest of the utility costs however you like. You are the owner so its up to you what to charge and how you split it up.
