RUBS in California...legal?

[Jason S.]

Hi all, Is RUBS legal in California? Also, if the tenets already pay for their own electric and gas can you use RUBS (if leagal) for water and sewer?

@Jason S., your question is very broad and without context, no one can provide a specific response.  I'm not aware of any law in general that makes it per se illegal in California to use RUBS.  However, RUBS is generally a contractual issue, and additionally, may be limited by local rent control.  You can charge RUBS if RUBS is specified in your lease agreement or made a part of your month to month lease (which is generally not a good idea) and if RUBS is permitted in your local jurisdiction.
