Recover CostsThe "All-Bills-Paid" Myth
Including utilities in the rent is convenient, but it kills your NOI. Tenants have no incentive to conserve water or electricity if they aren't paying for it.
Ratio Utility Billing Systems (RUBS) allow you to bill back costs to tenants based on occupancy or square footage. This calculator shows how much cash flow you are leaving on the table.
Conservation through Accountability
When tenants receive a bill for their usage, consumption drops by 15-20%. This is good for the environment and your wallet. But calculating and sending individual bills is a headache.
Automating the Calculation
Use Growth Automations to notify tenants of their monthly share automatically. "Your water bill for Oct is $45. Added to your ledger." No manual math, no postage stamps.
