Common Questions From The Owner
 

1. How will billing residents for utilities improve the value of my property?
As the owner, the rising cost of utilities directly impacts your profitability. The lease you have with the tenants locks in your rental income while your utility cost fluctuates based on consumption. By separating the cost of the utilities, you will add stability and improve forecasting to your bottom line.

2. Will this impact our occupancy?
Evaluating current market conditions is essential to any decision that may impact the occupancy of your community. Conducting a market survey will reveal that most of your competitors are also charging for utilities.

3. Are there legal requirements I must fulfill?
Legal requirements vary from state to state. Part of our services is to inform you and assist in any legal obligations to begin a billing program.

4. What charges can I pass through to the residents?
It is possible to pass through all or a portion of our charges through to the resident depending on the utilities we are billing. Your sales representative will assist you in structuring a program that is the greatest benefit to your company.
