RUBs are not based on consumption, therefor tenants/residents lack positive reinforcement (lower overall rental expense) to conserve water or even report a cycling toilet. 

If guests want alcohol the can bring in their own preference.

It was expensive but included commercial liability, premises liability, alcohol, a bed bug extension if needed, and so forth.

While this might seem fair on the surface, it may not accurately reflect each tenant's actual water usage.Usage-Based Billing: Implementing a system where tenants are billed based on their actual water consumption could be fairer.

I curse that corrupt mf til this day.In the 1980s in high school we were on Baja beach drinking alcohol (I was 16 or 17 years old).  

I guarantee the month after the meters come on, the person responsible will fix their leaky toilet or cut back on consumption.

People in recovery need a place to stay free of drugs and alcohol.

You can not bill back more than you are charged, so you need to be careful.It does save on consumption, because they become aware that they are on the hook for paying.

I keep my house at 65 deg all year long if you throw in some humidity then it can get to 68-69 deg I live in Oklahoma and it gets over 105 on a reg. if the house is insulated good and sealed up it helps a lot with energy consumption and if the ducting is done well good airflow, also if needed add a few fans to move the air more helps with cooling. 

Word on the street is that Split systems (common in . . . . a LOT of places other than the US) operate at a lower energy consumption rate per heating unit and cooling unit.
