It doesn't take any more time than regular billing. Pin the utility bills on the wall when they are all in, show the math, and say "here's last month's damage, pay up".
Oh, BTW, make a renter mad at you (or not) in the house you are occupying, and 10% of your **** walks out the door with them when they leave.  |
I'm a slumlord with property in OK. I've had tenants take a hammer to the walls because they were being evicted for not paying their rent for 2 months. I know there are scumbag people out there, but I'll do my best to avoid those. My first tenant has just moved in and she is an Asian school teacher. Don't think I'll have major problems with her.
At any rate, I'm going to rent rooms out month to month, so I can switch things up and have people pay their portion of the utilities if it becomes a problem. Of all the CL ads I've seen, almost nobody is having utilities paid seperately here.

Great ideas, I'll implement some of those and I'm sure my strategy will evolve as I learn what bad habits people have.
