Hi, AllSome follow ups: To promote responsible utility usage and maintain fairness, we're introducing caps on utility bills.

Also, I still argue that total usage form a unit leased to an arbitrager will use less as the unit isn't occupied 24/7.   

When the properties are vacant, we are getting bills around the $100 range (when there should be very little usage) and then as soon as a tenant moves in, the bills jump to the $1000 range. 

With unlimited usage! 

It cuts down on the amount of water usage on the septic - no matter how old, there are showers, washing machine drainage and dish washing.  

Studies sponsored by the National Multi-Housing Council and the National Apartment Association have documented the linkage between water conservation and separate billing for water usage.

@Michael Lathrop Have you branched out in your usage at all?

When you get a new credit card (before you ever swipe it), the ratio between your credit available and your outstanding credit usage is better.

If he rented through VRBO, I'd say it's a legit business usage.....

I want to figure out how to use something like that in order to bill tenants for actual usage and not just a flat proportion of the monthly bill.
