Submetering & Allocation Compliance

Our firm provides legal guidance to ensure your property’s utility billing practices align with statutory and regulatory requirements. We specialize in navigating the transition from master-metered accounts to individual submetering or allocated billing (also known as Ratio Utility Billing Systems (RUBS)) while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. Our team reviews utility addendums and disclosure notices designed to prevent billing disputes before they arise. By conducting thorough audits of your allocation and submetered rate-setting formulas, we help you maximize cost recovery without exceeding legal thresholds. Once the billing methodologies are established, we review proposed tenant invoice formats for compliance with state laws. We can also ensure that your physical submeters meet regulatory requirements and that you retain the proper records required for those submeters.
