That's an idea. Do you mean each T should pay their share to LL who would pay the company, or each T would pay their share to the company?

What do most Landlords do about bills when they rent rooms? As you can see this is a lot of hassle I did this as i was not sure how to force individuals to take on the bills.Comment

I got the impression shiny lived there too?? Or is that not the case!
If its an HMO then I would look at getting a DD for the bills at a fixed rate, say £30 per month. The Utility companies usually do this and review it annually. Therefore you can budget accordingly. CT is a set amount each year. You divy the lot between the total number of rooms and set the rent accordingly including bills. Then you can assess the rent each year when the bills are due for review.GOVERNMENT HEALTH WARNING: I am a woman and am therefore prone to episodes of PMT... if you don't like what I have to say you can jolly well put it in your pipe and SMOKE IT!!
Oh and on a serious note... I am NOT a Legal person and therefore anything I post could be complete and utter drivel... but its what I have learned in the University called Life!Comment

I don't live there! I wanted to decouple the rent from the bills and as the bills are the same if we have 2 or 4 people and then can go up because of Council tax rises, or Gas/electric/Water rises or even usage its too many variables. Also if I do an all in there is no incentive to be careful with the usage. I am trying to help these tenants but it looks like I will have to pass it on to them. My worry is what if this causes problems but at least I am not then liable.Comment
