Tenant Utility Bill Email Template
A plain-language email format landlords can use when asking tenants to reimburse shared utility charges.
Direct answer
A good tenant utility bill email states the property, utility type, billing period, original bill amount, tenant split method, tenant amount due, due date, payment instructions, and whether the source bill is attached. The message should make the calculation easy to verify.
Copyable email structure
Subject: Utility bill reimbursement for {Property Name} - {Billing Month}
Clarity checklist
Use the exact utility period shown on the bill.
Show the split percentage or method, not just the final amount.
Attach the bill or reference where the tenant can review it.
Keep one reviewed notice per tenant for follow-up.
Example with numbers
If a March electricity bill is $210.40 and the tenant split is 35%, the tenant amount is $73.64. The email should show both numbers so the tenant can see how the amount was calculated.
Original electricity bill: $210.40. Your split: 35%. Your amount due: $73.64. Billing period: March 2026. Due date: April 15, 2026.
How SplitUtility helps
SplitUtility stores tenant split percentages, calculates tenant-level charges, attaches bill files, and prepares tenant-ready email text for landlord review.
The landlord still reviews the bill and email before sending. SplitUtility does not provide legal advice or decide whether a charge is permitted.
