Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS)
13 October 2024 | 54 replies
Since the Utility Bill will change each month, each tenant's portion will also change each month....Easy Example: Say we manage a 2 family with 6 tenants/residents in total: 4 people living upstairs in Unit 2, and 2 people living downstairs in Unit 1: If January's water bill for the whole building is $100, then February's Rent for Top Floor Unit 2 would have an extra $100 x 4/6th (or 2/3 rds) added on = $66.66February's Rent for Bottom Floor Unit 1 would have an extra $100 x 2/6th (or 1/3 rds) added on = $33.33I always send each Tenant a copy of the entire building's Water bill, plus a cover page with a detailed explanation of the billing-breakdown.Make sense?

I feel it's a bit unfair and frankly I am not going to charge the tenant anymore than what the place is worth market rate because of its location and he is a great tenant (pays on time, keeps the place clean, communicative etc) I feel like i should even give him a break because he said he couldn't even be home since there was construction all summer due to building maintenance repairs.
