How to handle utilities in a single family rental

[Dzenan Catic]

Hello, 

I am renting out my first property. It is a single family home. How do I go about utilities? Do you have the tenant put the water, gas, electricity, trash in their name and show you proof that they are paying them every month? or do you put the utilities in your name (or in the name of the llc) and just send the bill to the tenant to make sure it gets paid that way?

Curious if anyone ever had any troubles with tenants not paying utilities and how you went about that?

Thanks for your help!
