A Guide to Handing Tenant Bills and Charging Your Tenant on RentBetter
Bills, bills, bills - they’re a part of owning a property but who’s responsible for what and how do you charge your tenant? That's the question that's often asked by landlords when it comes to handling tenant bills for their investment property.
Understanding and balancing your expenses is essential to being a successful landlord.
What bills should you charge your tenant for?
As a general rule, utilities like electricity, water and gas*, in most states if the property is separately metered as well as other items like:
Repairs, if the tenant has damaged the property
Lost Keys/Key fobs
Extra services or modifications, like gardening or cleaning if agreed and they are not included in the tenancy agreement.
*Please check the guidelines for your local state authority
Some landlords prefer to include bills in their rental payments but you should assess your own situation to understand what works best for you.
It's important to remember that your tenancy agreement should always state who is responsible and what is not included in the rent.
