Are Utilities Included?

GREAT!!! Nice response, Bob. There's always someone looking for something. I see this in our property management department. We are a small company, so I tend to get somewhat involved, and I see this all the time. 

PS...I forgot to mention. Our local electric company does target what are homeowner versus landlord accounts. The landlords get a notice when the tenants are past due. This is important in the winter months when power could be shut off. I can't believe what our property manager has to put up with. He's really patient and understanding and I don't have that kind of patience. 

Outstanding response compared to my "Sorry, but no" response.

Great rental, even a small room for rent is higher over here.

Good morning Bob. Tell us how you really feel, that is great. I hope this prospective tenant got your message loud and clear.

That is a great response, Bob.  It's rare here for utilities to be included.

Bob, Your response makes perfect sense.  A tenant with paid for utilities has no skin in the game to conserve. 

Perfect response Bob!  Have a great Sunday my friend.

Hi Bob,

I have found people who get their utilities paid with their rent tend to waste electricity by leaving the lights on and the AC running day and night. Seems like a good price even without the utilities. 

Great response, Bob.  It is so true that if people don't have to pay utilities, many resources are wasted because usage is never tracked or even really thought about.  I like your approach.

Excellent response!  I don't work with rentals but I will keep this up my sleeve it the occasion arises.
