Any other bill, companies will work with you, electricity, water, cable etc... but landlords largely remain inflexible.

This sentiment might hold water if it weren’t impacting other countries.

Only needed to paint and get a new water heater and fix the garage door so that you didn't need to have the light on for it to work.

The houses are wired up into the power lines and tenants buy their water and collect it in these giant rain buckets.

Water/sewer looks very high.

Does this muddy the waters when retirement age comes?

Sheds water, keeps sun heat out of the unit and it's a one time deal.

How will utilities keep water and power up when people can't work together in offices? 

What I'm looking to do is detect water in common areas such as under the hot water tank, sinks, and such locations.

My capex budget includes roof 25 year life span( flat roof only 15), floors 10 year life span, appliances and hot water heater 12 year life span, hvac 20 year lifespan, bath and kitchen remodel 20 year life span, etc.
