HOW TO CUT YOUR WATER BILLS. THESE TIPS WILL SAVE YOU MONEY

[Frank Wolter]

Listen water is an expense. Where I'm located in Cleveland you can have a tenant of a single home put the water bill in their name. But if its a double your pretty much stuck with the water bill. So here's some simple tips that I do to my rentals. Make sure you put it in your lease as well

1. Of course no washer and drier. I use to say no washer and you can keep the drier in the basement but then I found out that they would wash their cloths in the bath tub. Then dry the cloths in the drier. So no to washer and drier.
2. Cut water lines that would go to the water supply to where the washer goes.
3. Cut water lines to outside water hose. Or you'll be paying for their cars to get washed.
4. You can buy a shower head that is 1gal per min. It cuts the flow of water and saves water
5. Adjust the water pressure on the main water line coming in the property. You can reduce the pressure of the water thus slowing it down saving money.
6. Keep track of how many people might live in your unit. If you feel its pushing close to too the max of people you want in the unit. Inform the prospective tenant that due to the amount of people your going to anticipate a higher water bill and would have to increase the rent ( what ever you deem reasonable) . Here a two bedroom can legally have 6 people. That's a lot of water. So your not turning them down but when they apply inform them that the rent would be increased do anticipated water increase.

 I hope these tips were helpful. Lets keep costs down
