Water consumption spike

I've had a new tenant move in and noticed that the water consumption has spiked higher than normal. I don't have water meters in the building so I dont have a way of charging that back to the tenants nor do I see other buildings charging back with rubs type systems in that neighborhood. 

Curious how or if you guys step in to situations like this. Do you reach out to your PM? Looking at it from his perspective I'm not sure I'd know what to do in his shoes.

How do you guys handle this?

Replace flappers every 5 years regardless. Easiest check is pour some Gatorade into the tank when you’re doing spring or fall smoker alarm pokes. 15 min later if there’s colour in the bowl you need a flapper.
