Our occupant is jacking up my energy bill
When’s our first occupant moved in my pal and I realized that my pal and I no longer had the ability to adjust the temperature on their side and my pal and I found out that they were using way more energy than my pal and I had done.
Owning rental properties can be a fantastic thing for investing in the future! However, when you live in a double and rent out the other half, it can be a hassle as well. This is mostly because you see your occupant on a afternoon-to-day basis and know everything that they are doing. If you hear a loud crash or see something that is disfigurementd you may tend to overreact. This is the case with my partner and I because when my pal and I decided to purchase our first household my pal and I knew my pal and I wanted something that would help spend money the mortgage. My pal and I decided that purchasing a duplex was our best choice and for the most part it has been. The rental agreement that my pal and I have with our occupant includes the cost of heating and that became a problem, then when my pal and I first bought condo my pal and I were renovating it so my pal and I knew that heating both spaces was luxurious however felt that it could be kept under control. When’s our first occupant moved in my pal and I realized that my pal and I no longer had the ability to adjust the temperature on their side and my pal and I found out that they were using way more energy than my pal and I had done. My pal and I decided to talk to her Heating as well as A/C contractor and see if there was some way to have a programmable system put in that my pal and I could adjust when needed. My pal and I had a talk with the occupant and told her that my pal and I would be controlling the temperature and ask them what they wanted it set at. When she told us that she would like her house to be at 72° my pal and I told her that was insufficient, she did not like the cold Winters however my pal and I told her that if she wanted her venue to be that hot she would have to spend money her own energy cost. This made a giant difference in her choice and she agreed to keep it at 72 instead.
