Tenant got charged $3000 water bill. What would you do/recommend?
Hi guys!
My tenant of a year is having an issue with the city of chesapeake. The tenant recently got a $3000 water bill, and their normal usage is $300-$400. I called a local plumber to perform a leak detection test and found no leaks. The city came out to the property and checked the meter and determined there was no leaks. So after a water bill adjustment, the city is still charging the tenant $2200. Is there anything I need to do? What should I recommend to my tenant?
Thanks!

Tenant probably did something stupid and they aren't telling you.
