Cape coral submetering for water

Tammy Skeath
Posted

Hello BP fam,

I had a question about when you can transfer water bills to tenants, who have a lease in place. I am purchasing a 5 unit that is not submetered for water. I have all the quotes in place to do the work of submetering after I close. Several of the leases don't expire until mid 2022. I'm wondering if it is feasible to have tenants transfer water utility to their name  prior to their lease ending or if I need to wait until lease is up? Is adding a new utility to them a breach of contract? Appreciate your help.
