His response- "I think the bills are fine".Bottom line- when the purchase was complete, and I got into things at the bldg, I found water leaks everywhere (toilets that ran all the time, sinks with a pencil thin water dribble that wouldn't shut off...)I quickly addressed these findings, and, like magic, the water bill for the bldg settled in at under 500 gal/wk per unit (anywhere from 9-11.000 gal/wk).

I will also add that this tenant has been with me less than 6 months and already had power shut off once, a second door tag by power company hung for late payment, his garbage can revoked for non payment and late on his other utilities.
