Do you charge extra rent when on septic and private well?

[Jack B.]

About to buy a house on septic and well. My other houses are all on city/county water and sewer systems. So I'm wondering, since I'm footing the bill for the well and septic pumping, shouldn't I be able to charge extra rent to cover those expenses?

I figure list the rent as X and note that there is a $150 surcharge for septic and well water since it's paid for by the landlord...it's not free utilities...

All my properties are on septic , I pump them once a year and bill the tenant . they knew when they signed the lease . ( no different than them paying a sewer bill) Nothing for the water . 

Main thing for a septic system , NO GREASE , NO WHITE TAILED MICE , NO GARBAGE DISPOSAL . no fabric softener (dryer sheets) , and use liquid laundry detergent . 

I have systems over 30 years old , no problems .
