If there is a surplus in the account - tenant has paid in more than they have consumed - we offer the choice of a) leaving the funds in the account in anticipation of larger bills (i.e. winter is coming); b) applying the surplus toward the next month's rent; or c) {at the end of the lease only} refunding the surplus to the tenant.If there is a deficit - the tenant's resource consumption exceeded their contributions into the fund - the tenant is invoiced and has until the first of the next month to pay the outstanding balance.Originally we started this offering with our student houses, as I refused to rent with utilities included.
