How does your PM work your water bills?
Am a bit livid.. The new Tenants in January noted water "gushing" from the air con but knew they wouldn't have to pay a water bill until the plumber came and changed over to water saving devices....
Small town so they also knew there was a couple of months wait on the plumber (when not emergencies) they chose not to say anything!
The bill arrived from council first week of April, I rang PM for a please get to the bottom of this. Sent the plumber around and all good now, apart for the bill that will have to be a "suck it up and get over it"!
My question is..... How does your PM work your water bills? One of mine only charges the tenant if I send the water bill to them, the PM charges the Tenant then sends the money to council. I have no way of knowing if the bill has been paid until the next council bill. I explained to them I have no control over my bill being paid on time or not, very unsatisfactory.
The other PMs take a water reading when they do an inspection, paying the amount to me with the rent and I pay the water bill whenever it comes in much easier to keep track of and I know its being paid on time!
Love to hear how others keep track of water bills
Thanks
