    I don’t think they had any meters on individual units, they had no way of knowing who was using what, so no basis to change the agreement. I’m not saying it’s common, I’m just saying it’s a situation that exists.

      I think u/MyMindIsLikeAnOcean’s point was that the landlord would change things if the cost got high enough. For example, water usage of $10K per month would prompt the landlord to get those meters added.

        Our more likely, raise everyone’s rent to cover the excessive water use.
