Obviously different sized units and units with more or less tenants will have different consumption amounts.Hope that helps!

We do not rent units with utilities included {students are not always careful with their energy consumption habits}, but we do provide a single payee option where the student tenants prepay their utilities through us each month along with their rent.  

The same is true for smaller multi-family (5+ units) and even larger properties.Depending upon regulation in your area and the manner in which the property has been plumbed, you have the option of sub-metering water and billing each tenant for their actual consumption.  

Tax consumption, not income.

This will give you the option of several exit strategies including making a profit on rental income if all else fails.Now back to your original question about what I would do if I were in your shoes, well ,It has a lot to do with the Florida Keys, lots of alcohol and pretty women.

Joe has a crummy $50/month health insurance plan, but he's an alcoholic and spends $250/month on vodka.

You'll find the list of all books mentioned in the BP podcast at the following link:http://garifunainstitute.com/math/bpbooks.phpI created this list for my personal consumption and to share with my close friends.

Water is included for my duplexes, but I have a clause if the consumption goes over some dollar amount per month or quarter, it will be billed to the tenant.

My water bill I received over the past weekend had indeed shown an increase in consumption.

The only "fed up with spring breakers" action PCB has taken is to ban alcohol on the white sandy beaches for the month of March only.
