We are wanting to be as close to the water as possible. 

You said public water was available...would the lots require a septic system to be installed or is public sewer available? 

Try to anticipate other potential avoidable situations with a follow up inspection to assess the Locksmith’s work and ask your tenant(s) if you can also use the time to assess for other issues such as unchanged HVAC filters, leaky pipes, working shutoff valves, working smoke detector batteries, properly working downspouts, clogged dryer vents, evidence of water damage from leaking roof, etc,etc,etc.

Coos Bay - The main delay with application in this area is whether the property is on public utilities or has a septic system and private or public water source.

However, i dont want him to be able to sue me for "the water heater isnt working" "the ac isnt working etc..."

Rather focus on what you're doing for the tenant. " Owner pays water, sewer, trash."

I believe it is completely reasonable to have a clause in your lease that places a cap on utilities with any overage (proven by a bill) being the responsibility of the resident.Our clause states that any electrical bill (we don't have gas, and water has never been a problem) that is over double the same month's bill from last year will have the overage assigned as a fee.It is important to keep your bookkeeping straight if you do assess a fee.

Of course not, but required items such as electric, water, gas, and plumbing all need to be in working order.

Where do you suppose the water will go?
