If you own rental property in Kent, Ohio, water submetering pulls the water bill out of the rent and charges each tenant for what they actually run. Kent State drives this rental market, and the housing around campus and downtown is mostly small, individually owned multifamily: duplexes, fourplexes, and older houses converted to student rentals. A tenant who pays a flat rent and never sees a water bill has no reason to cut a shower short or report a running toilet, so usage runs high and bounces between units, and the whole roster turns over every academic year. True Submeter gives Kent owners an affordable way to put an individual water meter on each unit, so every tenant is billed only for what they use. Usage drops, billing disputes disappear, and your net operating income climbs, with most owners recovering their full investment within six months. In a market this tied to Kent State, your water billing should be as dependable as your fall occupancy.
