Hi, everyone! Hoping to get some helpful feedback from some landlords in Indy for running numbers on a deal. Do you pay for your tenants’ Water, Sewer, Garbage, Snow, Lawn costs? Or do you bill them for it? How much do these services costs in Indy? Thanks!!

I have the tenant pay for the water and sewer and all utilities and snow removal.  In some areas the garbage is part of your tax bill and already paid for by you the owner of the property. In other areas you have to pay for it separate. Also I have my tenants take care of the lawn but that could be negotiated or maybe a perk that you could give a new tenant in the property.

Thanks for the insight, Randy! Much appreciated.
