Tenant utility reimbursement means a landlord pays the original utility bill, calculates the tenant's lease-approved share, prepares a clear reimbursement request, and keeps the source bill and tenant amount easy to review. SplitUtility helps store tenant percentages, calculate charges, attach the source bill, and prepare tenant-ready email text.
Use the lease, addendum, or written tenant agreement to confirm whether reimbursement is allowed and how the split is calculated.
List the bill total, utility type, billing period, tenant percentage or method, tenant amount, due date, and payment instructions.
Save the source bill, reviewed notice, calculated amount, due date, and follow-up notes so records stay clean.
If the landlord receives a $148.75 gas bill and the lease assigns 40% to the tenant, the reimbursement request is:
Original gas bill: $148.75
Tenant share: 40%
Tenant reimbursement: $148.75 x 40% = $59.50
Owner share: $89.25
The email should include the source bill and billing period so the tenant can verify the charge.

SplitUtility is built for small landlords who already know the reimbursement rule and want a faster way to calculate, email, and track tenant utility charges without building a spreadsheet for every bill cycle.
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.
Tenant utility reimbursement is a utility charge a tenant pays back to the landlord after the landlord pays the original utility bill. The method should come from the lease, an addendum, or another documented agreement.
Include the property, utility type, billing period, original bill amount, split method, tenant charge, due date, payment instructions, and the source bill or a clear reference to it.
No. SplitUtility helps calculate reimbursement amounts and prepare tenant email text. Landlords still need to confirm lease terms and local utility billing rules.
