Extra Monthly Charge For Window A/C

When the Landlord pays for electricity and the tenant wants to install a window A/C, I see Landlords charge an additional fee for the A/C since it uses additional electricity.  Looking for feedback on what the typical fee is for the a/c unit if Landlord supplies and the electrical up-charge.  I see fees ranging from $20/month for the unit to $50 plus the electrical charge or it’s all rolled into one fee.

    First you should never ever pay for tenants utilities. Get separate meters or don't buy this type property. It is an extra headache you don't need.
