I am a new investor, househacking a duplex in the Pittsburgh area. Unfortunately I only have one meter for each utility. Would it be better if I added utilities into the rent or had my tenant pay back for utilities based off a sqft percentage of their unit? Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hello, I recently purchased an up/down duplex in the Pittsburgh PA area. The unit was a SF legally converted into a duplex and currently is heated via Water Boiler with radiators through out both units. The problem is that there is only one thermostat located in the upper unit. One option is to put a lock box cover over it and designate a set temp for the winter but personally I would rather not do that as I know I would rather have control over my temp as a renter. Any advice on the best was to deal with this issue would be appreciated!

Thanks

I’d love more information as well!
