Can I cut her water and just say I dnt have money to pay since she hasn’t paid the rent. 

Is it water front? 

Rain water leak happened on one unit where these tenant issues happened.

My water usage bill is the same.

For our clients, we separate repairs into catergories: 1) Health & Saftey - highest priority to avoid lawsuits2) Property Preservation - don't want a $500 water leak repair to become a $5k repair later3) Government Required - for city & S8 inspections4) Marketing Negative Impact - who wants to rent a "purple" house?

If you don't have water, sewer, and power at the property already, it will substantially limit how many units you could feasibility build even if 100% of the land was otherwise usable.

You have $606 after tax dollars to spend on the rest of life's expenses, including investing, buying flowers for your significant other, cell phone bill, water/electric/vehicle expense/food/childcare/hair cuts/vacation. 

If the landlord is paying any utilities that are based on usage such as water, then I might discuss a rent bump to compensate for the anticipated increase in usage and address that with the lease update adding the person as an occupant. 

It will be interesting to see how many people spring into action because of it, or if they simply hold on to the early spring of 2025.

Aesthetics won’t be an issue and it will pay dividends in the long run with eliminating landscaping/lawn and water costs.
