When tenants pay for the water & sewer themselves, they are less likely to leave faucets running, ignore constantly running toilets or otherwise waste water needlessly at somebody else's expense.

We prefer to charge lower rental rates than properties that include water & sewer and to put the tenants in control of their own utility expenses and usage so we can better focus on providing an enjoyable, safe and comfortable residence for our customers.
