How to proceed with non-separate utilities

Can anyone help me with this dilemma? So I have two units, that the electricity for both is under one meter.  How do I proceed to rent out these units? If I pass the electricity costs to the tenants, then I leave the burden to them to discuss and negotiate how much each tenant used that specific month. I know that If I was in this situation I would not want that responsibility, because there is room for one or the other to take advantage of the situation.  On the other hand, if I as the landlord take the responsibility to offer a flat rent with utilities included. I am in a vulnerable position with the tenants using the electricity without the fear of the consequences of high energy consumption. Has anyone else had this issue, and how did you mitigate the situation?
