How exactly do you split utilities with one meter + oil tank?

Posted

I have a single family house where there is a 3 bedroom apartment on the first floor and a 2 bedroom apartment in the basement. I don’t want any of the utilities to be included, I’d like tenants to pay for the utilities. How could I split this up so that one tenant doesn’t feel like he’s paying for the others utilities?

@William O'Donnell look up RUBS. It’s a mathematical formula based on number of people, square footage, etc. It can work in some cases, but make sure it’s legal in your state.

Cleanest way is to add another electric meter... but obviously isn’t always possible.
