Utilities Charges Benchmark

Utilities charges are named “second rent” for a good reason.  As a property owner you can re-claim these cost items from your tenants but in the end the sum of the rent plus utilities charges plus heating cost determine what your tenants can afford. The more they pay for utilities and heating the smaller is their budget for the actual rent that ends up in your account. On top of this argument you have to cover this cost for any vacancy period or non-payment of a tenant until you might be able to claim it in court. So the popular argument used by many property managers that the level of the utilities charges is not your problem is simply not true.
