Cleveland, OH Utilities

[David De La Torre]

Hello Fellow Investors!

I plan on renting out my investment property in Cleveland, Ohio as a long term rental. I would like the system set up where the tenant pays for the utilities. After speaking with someone who is familiar with this market, I learned that you could have the tenant pay all the utilities except the water, the landlord would have pay for that. 

I wanted to know if this is something that is required all throughout Ohio or if this varies by city or property management company. All information and advice would be greatly appreciated! 

How have you set up your system?

 Hey so it's

water/sewer - put in owners name and you can back bill the tenants.

electric / gas - this can go right into the tenants name.

trash - this is included in the taxes
