Why don the apartments have meters to monitor usage?
A. It is very easy to meter apartments that are being newly constructed. However, some older buildings have plumbing contraints which make it difficult to meter. There is the possibility of re-plumbling. This is not only expensive but highly disruptive to the residents of the community. Also, the cost of metering can be high so your Property Management Company may have decided that this is the fairest way to bill for these utilities at this time.
