Utilities tracking

Who pays the hydro here? Always one glance away.

Record who is responsible for gas, hydro and water on every property and unit. Set the default once and it flows onto the lease and shows as a clear badge on the tenancy — so utility responsibility is documented from day one and never turns into a dispute or a surprise bill.

Utility responsibility, documented from day one

Configure it once at the property or unit level, and every tenancy inherits the right answer.

Gas, hydro & water

Track the three utilities that most often cause confusion — each set independently, because real arrangements are rarely all-or-nothing.

Set defaults per property/unit

Configure responsibility once on the property or unit, and every new tenancy inherits it — no setting it on every lease by hand.

Flows onto the lease

The defaults carry onto the lease, so the document and your dashboard agree — no drift between what was signed and what you track.

Clear tenant badges

Responsibility shows as a badge on the tenancy, so anyone on your team sees who is on the hook for each utility at a glance.

Override where it differs

Most units follow the building default; adjust the odd tenancy where the arrangement is different, without touching the rest.

Fewer disputes & surprises

Documented expectations mean no arguing about a hydro bill later — the tenant knew what they signed up for.

Rental utilities tracking — frequently asked questions

What does utilities tracking do?

It records who is responsible for each utility — gas, hydro and water — on every property and unit you manage. You set the default responsibility once at the property or unit level, and it flows onto the lease and shows as a clear badge on the tenancy, so the answer to "who pays the hydro here?" is always one glance away instead of a hunt through the lease.

Which utilities can I track?

Gas, hydro (electricity) and water — the three that most often cause confusion between a landlord and a tenant. Each can be set independently, because it is common for a unit to have, say, the tenant on hydro while the landlord covers water and gas. You capture the real arrangement, not a one-size-fits-all guess.

Do I have to set this on every lease by hand?

No. You set the defaults on the property or unit, and every new tenancy inherits them automatically — so a building where the tenant always pays hydro is configured once, not on every lease. You can still adjust an individual tenancy where the arrangement differs, but the common case is handled for you.

Where does the utility responsibility show up?

On the tenancy, as clear badges, so anyone on your team can see at a glance who is on the hook for each utility. Because the defaults flow onto the lease, the document and the dashboard agree — there is no drift between what the lease says and what your records show.

Why does tracking utility responsibility matter?

Utility responsibility is one of the most common sources of landlord-tenant disputes and unexpected bills. Recording it clearly — on the lease and on the tenancy — means expectations are documented from day one: the tenant knows what they signed up for, and you are not left holding a surprise hydro bill or arguing about it later.

Is utilities tracking available for property management companies?

Yes. It works in both the individual-landlord and property-management-company workspaces. Across a managed portfolio it keeps utility responsibility consistent building by building and unit by unit, so your team — and the owners you report to — always know exactly who pays for what.
