If you own rental property in Mankato, Minnesota, water submetering ends the arrangement where your tenants use the water and you quietly pay for it. Mankato is a Minnesota State town, and the rental stock around campus runs heavily to individually owned student housing: duplexes, older houses split into units, and small apartment buildings. A tenant who pays one flat rent and never sees a water bill has no reason to fix a running toilet or shorten a shower, so usage climbs and jumps from one unit to the next, and the building re-leases with each school year. True Submeter gives Mankato owners an affordable way to set an individual water meter on each unit, so every tenant is billed for precisely what they use. Usage drops, billing disputes go away, and your net operating income climbs, with most owners recovering their full investment within six months. In a rental market this tied to the Minnesota State calendar, your water billing should move on the same schedule.
