How would you manage utilities in a 2 unit with no separate meters?

[Jeremy Medina]

I am closing a deal on a SFH that has an attached ADU. I am not sure yet but I am thinking LTR for the main portion and perhaps MTR/STR for the ADU. It is not separately metered and right now I don't see adding a meter as an option (cost/not zoned for MF). It seems leaving the utilities in my name and charging tenants on top of the rent is the easiest, but not the most passive. The home has gas utilities but I plan to replace gas fixtures with electric. How would you manage water/electric utilities in a 2-unit with no separate meters?
