Utilities

[Chris Lauria]

I am buying a 2 family place in MASS. There are three floors. I am going to let my friend stay in the top floor and rent the second floor, while I live in the first floor.

The first floor is one unit and the second and third floor make up the second unit.

Is there a way I can still charge utilities to the tenants on the second floor? all the meters for the second unit include the third and second floor. Is it legal to have an electrician separate the second and third floor, and add a meter to the third floor?

Thanks for any help!
