description | Methods and systems using the method of calculating and charging for utility usage are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of, on a processing unit, obtaining a utility bill from a utility company for a multi-unit property, obtaining a reading from at least one submeter monitoring the usage of the utility for each unit of the multi-unit property, totaling the submetered usage, calculating a percent usage of the utility for each unit, calculating a charge for each unit based on the percentage usage for each unit, and billing each unit for the charge calculated for that unit. |
