tenant and waterbill advice

[Greg W.]

Hi,

I recently signed a new 3 year lease with a commercial tenant and included that she pay water bill. I recently found out that her water meter is linked to a couple residential units.

How would you handle this? I plan to credit her 66% per month, the months she paid the bill. Is this fair? How would you handle this water bill moving forward? I will pay bill but should I add a percentage of it to her rent or should she no longer pay anything towards water?

Thank you,

Greg

@Greg W.,

Have you looked into submetering?
