Lease & General Questions

[Rich Sutherland]

Hello,

Couple of questions we are trying to answer right now. 

- if appliances break can you put in a lease that the repairs would be split 50/50 or does it have to be the landlord or tenant that takes full responsibility? 

- if you allow a multi family unit to use the washing machine and dryer, can you put into the lease that if the use/cost is excessive then the use would be cut to one or two loads per week per family? Or worse still take away the privilege? 

Finally, does anyone have an idea of the potential cost for a 3 family unit in regards to water and electricity? Trying to budget accordingly and unsure if the washer will have a larger impact or not on the numbers.  

Thanks very much for your time and experience on this.
