Is that common in the area?

My wife's business utilizes Corporate rentals quite often for her employees. 

So I have a deal where a lady has put a buyer under contract and she says she common law married to the decease guy.

50 bucks more seems fair to me, more so if it's shared utilities....

To check rates, just enter the zip at https://www.kcha.org/landlords/rent-utilities/Feel free to PM me for more information.

Plus you can utilize you perspective new PM to give you advice for that area even if you are working with a different agent. 

Totally missed that it was a duplex originally, but if it's duplex don't you have more expenses that you as a landlord need to pay for the common areas (e.g. mowing, heat/utilities in common area, etc.)?

They also added an expansion to the community of $120k of a new common element without receiving permission from any homeowner. 

You can also just call up the utility and ask what the bills have been.
