Common area electricity on multi-tenant properties.

[Tom Amon]

Hi everybody, I'm just closing on my first duplex in Zip Code 44107. I am wondering how people handle common area electricity, for example, in the basement, which has common areas like the laundry room and dryers, as well as the hallway entrances. There's also a security light outside on the garage. There's no way I'm installing a third electric meter; currently, the units are split between two electric meters. Is this just something that's included in the lease? Has anybody had any problems with that? \ nI ought to wI'd p into the accumulated experience of this group.
