water bills: Water bills--another option when deciding who is to pay - 12/30/11 12:08 PM
With more and more communities activating water meters, it is now the norm for tenants to be responsible for the water bill.  In making this decision it then becomes another task to bill the tenant and monitor whether they pay the bill (or reimburse the owner when specific water companies do not permit tenants to establish service directly).  More steps can mean more costs for the manager and the owner.  An option is to have the owner pay the minimum cost for water and advise the tenant that they reserve the right to bill them for amounts exceeding the basic water allotment.
