Thanks! --72.224.xxx.xxx

It's just like changing the rent amount. It's probably either 30 days or 60 days, depending on your state. --76.115.xx.xx

Why pay for any electricity? Is this a SFH?, multi with seperate meters? Or a multi with just one meter? --66.228.xxx.xxx

It's a small efficiency apartment that includes everything. Separate meter. With previous tenants, the electric ran us between $20 - 30 a month, but with this tenant, the last month's bill was $80. (She denies using any appliances that would cause this but we now know we need to set a limit.) --72.224.xxx.xxx

Unless tenants pay directly for the electricity then the use will increase. No one will move into the apartment building without signing for electricity or signing up for natural gas on the units heated with natural gas. The average is generally $20.00 to $40.00 per month without heat. In future if the rental unit is separated metered then have tenants have the electric in the tenants name. --216.110.xxx.xx

i might do this in the spring.if she doesnt go for it u will be looking for a tennie in warm weather not in winter.i would expect its 1 rental period notice required but see what local guys say. --208.58.x.xx
