Who pays for the utilities?

[Joseph Romano]

In a SF property who would pay for the eclectic, gas, garbage, and waster & sewer.

Always have the tenants pay the utilities if at all possible. If you're the one responsible for them, there's a very good chance they'll leave power/water/gas on and running as much as possible since to them it's "free" and they want to take advantage. If it's a single family home that should be very simple to have everything transferred to their names.
