Currently building ADU, and marketing Main Home for rental.

I am in the process of building a detached adu garage conversion, almost done with plan check. Will most likely be signed off in less than a month. 

I will be putting up the main house as a rental in the next few weeks. 

I will most likely have new tenants as construction happens. I will inform them once the home is advertised. 

How should I handle this as I will most likely need access to water and electricity? 

My idea was to offer a utility credit until construction is complete.

Have any of you run into this scenario?

@Jeffrey Suarez Be very up front with the lease. I would say if there are multiple restrooms pick one and stick to that one. If you can do it for a short time then go into a regular lease is great. I would set a lease for the time that youll be using the electric and water then sign another completely new lease with higher price. Let me know if you have any other questions!
