This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

The abuser came back and started beating their spouse up, turn up, abandoning the apartment with rent unpaid, leaving behind their 18 year old kid that ended up having parties every night, and essentially became a squatter, they also moved their friends in and it became a flophouse and in New York State it is very difficult to evict somebody that is not on a lease and for which the lease signers cannot be located to assist in the situation.

The tenant should only be responsible if they abuse or neglect, or if they fail to report a maintenance issue that then causes additional problems that could have been prevented by timely reporting.
