Tenant Pays Heat in COLD Climate
I have a SFR that my tenant will be paying to heat (oil) and I'd like to update my Lease to reflect. Wondering how others handle this, do you fill the tank before they move in and require it to be full when they move out (fill and deduct from deposit)?
Our Winters can be severe so another concern is the tenant letting the tank run empty. Do you require they enroll in an auto-fill program? My other thought was to keep it on the same contact and simply bill them when its filled.
Thanks!

On your other question, so far I convinced most of my tenants to go on automatic. My 1st and current tenant isn't. The gunk on the bottom of empty tanks clog pipes which has to be cleaned out. It's covered under my service contract but I warn them if the oil company charges me extra for cleaning, they get billed.
