Ben Leybovich The owner pays electric and water.

I would have code compliance and the plumbing inspector and the electrical inspector and any other inspector that there is to be found on speed dial.

Has plumbing and electrical ever been updated?

Electric - Has it been upgraded to circuit breakers or is it fuses?

And why would a CO detector be needed in an all-electric house (yeah, back in the day people built houses with electric heat, cooking and hot water too)?

From what I can tell this is more a result of our wet spring and having the electric off and sump pump not kicking on than any structural problem.

With the rising costs of heating fuel, gas, and electricity as well as increasing interest in energy-efficiency and green building in general, this has the potential for being your biggest resale points in coming years.

You can usually have agreements where tenants pay utilities based on a square footage or per soul living in units, but you can be in trouble if anything more than the actual bill is paid among the customers, it's best to stay out of that loop.There were two suits I'm aware of, one was a subdivision providing water the other was an apartment building splitting electric bills.

Pretty fun stuff, especially when you see them struggle with the most basic of questions (gas/electricity, roof isolation y/n).

Yes, the tenant mows the lawn but the lawn mower is rechargeable electric so no gas is used.
