Simplified Tenant Billing

Our fully automated platform calculates actual usage and allocates it by unit, generates and distributes individual bills, and manages payment collections for landlords.

Frequently Asked Questions

Water submetering is the process of installing individual water meters for each unit in a multifamily property or single family home that's part of a larger HOA. This allows landlords to charge tenants based on their actual water usage rather than a flat rate or an estimated amount.

To submeter water, you need to install individual water meters for each unit, connect them to a central reading system, and set up a billing system to charge tenants based on their usage. Our team of technicians ensures the installation process is seamless and efficient. We make sure the submeters are operating correctly and providing readings to the central base station, generate monthly bills for tenants and then remit those payments to the landlord or HOA.

Each month, total water usage is pulled from the City water bill. The total is then allocated to each unit based on their individual usage and individual bills are generated and emailed. Each tenant receives a bill which they pay online. After a set amount of days, the total payments collected are then transferred to the landlord or HOA to pay the master meter bill.

Submetering allows owners to bill tenants directly for their actual water and utility usage, encouraging conservation. Tenants benefit only paying for their actual usage, resulting in higher likelihood of usage reductions and savings for tenants and homeowners. Additionally, submetering likely will reduce utility costs for landlords and HOAs by incentivizing tenants to conserve water and passing the costs on to the tenants.
