This might “expose their potential violation of their lease with the landlord, if they forbid extended stays by overnight guests who are not listed on the lease.The most common scenario highlighting this pitfall happens when a family member or friend allows another family member or friend to move in with him or her, sometimes accepting rent or help with paying utility bills, sometimes not, and the family member or friend who has moved in either stops contributing financially or refuses to move out in the time period agreed upon.

It should be noted that in Akron, the owner will get a copy of the water and sewer bill and holds final responsibility to make sure it's paid, but the tenant can be sent the bill as well and can agree to pay it as part of the lease.

This will be consider after hours and drive my bill up.  

I'm considering purchasing two older single family homes that have separate addresses but are on the same lot and same tax and water bill.

During hold-over, I may start billing the tenant double the per diem rent rate. 

So just to clarify, they may charge to come out and then send another bill to get the stamped paperwork.

If the house is dirty in which it attracts pest, they your tenant is responsible for pest control and damages as I'm sure when the house was leased it was "pest free" If they flip the bill for it, which you have every right to expect if it's clear their mess is the problem, then that might give them incentive to clean up.

@Bill O'Donnell I've worked in the insurance industry and have only dealt with TAPCO and Loyds of London for surplus lines.

That gas bill can wipe out more than your monthly revenue over the winter.Are you in a high tax area, like Cincinnnati seems the be?
