Property Management Fee Includes Water Bill
Small matter, but I've got a property manager for a condo. Water's billed bimonthly. He was screwing up last year and billing monthly the full amount to the tenant. We've decided this year to simplify things and just bill them $75/mo for water (Bill's roughly $150 every two months). In my newest statement from the property manager, he's got it listed as a "rent increase" and he's taking his percentage out of the rent including the water bill. Rent's actually stayed the same by the way. Fair or foul?
