Utilities included worth the risk?

[Jorge Caceres]

Hi fellow BP fans,

Considering mid-term rentals (MTR) for my single-family home (near two hospitals, targeting traveling nurses/doctors). Most MTRs in my area include utilities, but my California property has very high utility costs (PG&E - could easily be $1000/month with regular AC/heat use). Is it best to simply increase rent by a fixed amount (e.g., $700) to cover this, or are there other strategies for handling utilities in this situation? Any advice appreciated!
