What would one of you suggest for a medium term operator whose tenants may be over using a specific utility like gas or electric.

If you’re In a title state make proof of utility pay off a condition of closing.

@Blair Ross JrElectric/Gas: Contact the utility provider to see if separate meters are allowed for your property.

It cash flows without the utilities split but I am planning to hold onto for a long time so splitting the utilities seems to make sense.

Utilities for the Rented HouseDeductible as a rental expense from when the property was placed in service (ready to rent).

We did get much lower costs when we changed to minisplits but the initial cost is high.

I am considering purchasing in Lower Dimond and any of the directly adjacent neighborhoods.

So now we cover utilities for both units and the new tenant pays a higher amount too on the back unit to cover all the utilities with a great profit.  

hi all i am a new landlord and got my first rental property. tenants moved in in September and October. the first month was fine but when December hit it got extremely cold and the heating is electric. due to poor insulation in the home that we did not know about the heat has to be turned very high up to keep the home warm, however since everything is electric it is causing the electric bill to be $800. the utilities are the tenants responsibility. however because of this one of the tenants has been extremely non compliant with paying rent.
