One Gas and Water meter

[Leah Roberts]

Hi BP community,

I am looking at investing in two triplexes which were single family homes that were converted into triplexes. The only utility split three ways is the electric. The water and gas are still on one and the current landlord has the gas and water included in their rent. I want to get away from this. Has anyone had experience with this type of issue? Do I/ can I split the water and gas bill legally three ways between the tenants or is my only option to get the water and gas split three ways? I am starting to look into the cost of that and I think its going to be a pretty hefty price to pay.... Is it manageable to just split the bill three ways or am I asking for a headache?

Thanks in advance

Leah
