Why It Matters

Landlord-paid utilities are a direct hit to your NOI and cash flow. Properties where tenants pay all utilities are more profitable but may command slightly lower rents. When analyzing a deal, verify which utilities the landlord pays by reviewing current leases and utility bills for the past 12 months.

Detailed Explanation

Monthly Utilities represent the utility costs you pay as the landlord. This typically includes water, sewer, trash, and sometimes gas or electric — depending on whether the lease requires tenants to pay their own utilities. In multi-unit properties, owners often pay water/sewer/trash while tenants pay electric and gas.
