If you own rental property in Gainesville, Florida, water submetering is the most direct way to stop covering your tenants’ water and bill each unit for exactly what it uses. Gainesville is about as university-driven as a city gets, with the University of Florida setting the pace of the rental market, and the neighborhoods around campus are packed with student houses, duplexes, and small apartment buildings held by individual owners. Tenants who pay flat rent and never see a water bill run long showers, ignore a dripping faucet, and keep usage high and unpredictable, and every lease brings a fresh batch who do the same. True Submeter gives Gainesville owners an affordable way to fit an individual water meter to each unit, so the bill follows the tenant who actually ran the water. Usage comes down, arguments over a shared bill go away, and your net operating income rises, with most owners recouping the full cost within six months. In a town built around the school calendar, your billing should be too.
