How do I get out of paying utilities on a duplex - Posted by Todd

Call you utility co. and ask them about having separate meters put on the duplex…they will no doubt have a fee per meter. Then call a plumber and have him quote you for the work.

Of course, your current leases no doubt include “water and sewer”, so you may either have to wait until there is a new tenant to implement the change, or give the current one an incentive … like, keeping his rent at the current level when it’s time to renew for a year.

I am making an offer on a duplex where the seller pays $2400 dollars a year for water/sewer… That is $200 a month from my income… Is there a way to get that out of the tenant without raising thier rent… Please HELP
