To split a water bill between tenants, take the total water bill, apply the lease-approved split rule, calculate each tenant's charge, and prepare a reimbursement notice with the bill period, amount, method, due date, and source bill. SplitUtility can calculate tenant shares and prepare tenant email text for review.
Useful when the agreement says each tenant or unit pays the same share of a shared water bill.
Common when water use roughly follows the number of people living in each unit or room.
Useful when the lease assigns each unit or tenant a fixed percentage, such as 60% for the main unit and 40% for a suite.
If the water bill is $156.80 and two tenants split it equally, each tenant charge is:
Original water bill: $156.80
Tenant A: $156.80 x 50% = $78.40
Tenant B: $156.80 x 50% = $78.40
Total tenant charges: $156.80
If the landlord keeps an owner share or uses occupant count, the email should say that instead of showing an equal split.

SplitUtility is useful when the water bill arrives as one total and the landlord needs repeatable tenant-level calculations, tenant notice text, and bill records each billing period.
SplitUtility does not provide legal advice and does not decide whether a tenant utility charge is permitted. Landlords should confirm lease terms and local rules.
A landlord can use an equal split when the lease or documented agreement allows it. The reimbursement request should show the total bill, equal percentage, tenant amount, and billing period.
The landlord should use the documented method from the lease or local rules, such as occupant count, unit count, fixed percentages, or submetered usage if available.
Yes. SplitUtility can store the bill, tenant charges, and reviewed tenant notice details so landlord follow-up is based on a clean record.
