Software For landlords, not utilities

Utility billing software for landlords

MeterEase reads your master water, sewer, trash, gas or electric bill, splits it among your units with a RUBS formula, and emails every tenant their share with the source bill attached. Flat pricing from $14/month.

What the software does

Everything between the master bill and your rent app

  • Bill PDF import

    Upload the utility, CAM or insurance bill. MeterEase reads the vendor, period and total for you to confirm. Scans without text can be typed in.

  • RUBS allocation

    Split by percent, square footage, bedrooms or occupants. Growth and Portfolio add hybrid blends and mid-month proration.

  • Vacancy rules

    Keep a vacant unit in the split so the owner covers its share, or leave it out. Vacant units are never emailed.

  • Tenant emails with the source bill

    Each tenant gets their own share, how it was calculated, and the master bill or a redacted copy you mark.

  • Send checklist

    Nothing sends until you confirm the amounts. You stay the landlord of record and approve every bill.

  • Rent-app and accounting export

    Download a CSV with paste notes for your rent app, a QuickBooks CSV, or push charges to DoorLoop on Growth and Portfolio.

FAQ

Utility billing software questions

What is utility billing software for landlords?

It is software that takes a building’s master utility bill, divides it among the units with a formula such as square footage or occupants, and bills each tenant their share. MeterEase does this for landlords who handle billing themselves.

Is MeterEase for utility companies?

No. MeterEase is built for landlords and property owners who receive a master bill. It is not billing or meter-reading software for utilities or energy companies.

How is this different from outsourcing utility billing?

An outsourced billing company runs the program for you, usually with quoted pricing. MeterEase keeps billing in your hands for a flat monthly price, starting at $14.

Does it collect payments from tenants?

No. Tenants pay you the way they already pay rent. MeterEase sends the shares and exports the amounts to your rent app, QuickBooks or DoorLoop.

How do I get started?

Sign up with your invite code, add a property and its units, upload a master bill, pick a split method and review the shares before you send.
