See what submetering savings could do to your NOI.

Adjust the unit count to view a benchmark range based on typical 15% to 40% utility savings per unit.

Number of Units 150 units
Projected Annual NOI Impact
$68K-$180K

Benchmark range for 150 units based on 15% to 40% utility savings.

Estimated annual utility savings range: $67,500 to $180,000.

Benchmark uses the page's existing example utility load of about $250 per unit per month. Submetering often cuts water use by 25% to 30%, can reduce electricity use by up to 40%, and often reaches full ROI within 6 to 12 months. Actual results vary by property, lease language, occupancy, usage patterns, and rate structure.

Utility Billing Should Not Be This Hard

When resident utility billing is managed manually, small issues quickly turn into missed recovery, billing disputes, unclear reports, and time-consuming follow-up.

Late or inconsistent billing

Billing cycles get delayed when reads, utility bills, move-ins, move-outs, and tenant balances are tracked across multiple systems.

Resident disputes

Unclear statements, missing usage details, and inconsistent charges create resident questions that slow down your property team.

Unclear owner reporting

Owners need clean visibility into charges, payments, adjustments, balances, recovery trends, and exceptions — not scattered spreadsheets.

Where Is Your Utility Revenue Going?

A cleaner billing workflow helps show where recovery is lost: vacancy costs, common-area handling, missing reads, delayed billing, manual credits, and unclear resident charges.

What We Review Before Billing

Before a property moves forward, Nexus reviews the billing foundation so resident charges, reporting, and recovery workflows are built on clean information.

1

Lease & utility language

We review billing responsibility, utility addendum language, resident notices, and the documentation needed to support a clean billing process.

2

Meter and read source

We confirm whether billing is based on submeters, RUBS allocations, flat fees, owner-paid utilities, or a hybrid workflow.

3

Utility bills and rates

We review provider bills, charge categories, rate structures, taxes, admin fees, and how those costs should flow to resident billing.

4

Resident bill format

We prepare billing layouts designed to clearly show charges, usage, balances, payment instructions, and contact details.

5

Owner reporting needs

We align reporting around charges, collections, adjustments, outstanding balances, exceptions, and portfolio-level visibility.

6

Exceptions and disputes

We identify how missing reads, vacant unit usage, spikes, move-outs, credits, and resident questions should be handled.

Live in 30 Days

Getting started is simple. We handle the heavy lifting so your first billing cycle runs seamlessly.

1

Property Onboarding

Send us your unit roster, meter inventory, and current utility accounts. We configure your property in our system, map meters to units, and set up rate structures based on your local utility provider.

2

Compliance Setup

We prepare your lease utility billing addendum, 90-day advance notice where required, and bill format templates — all tailored to your state’s specific RUBS or submetering regulations.

3

First Billing Cycle

We collect meter reads, calculate charges using actual municipal rates, generate itemized bills, and deliver them to residents via the online portal. You review before bills go out.

4

Ongoing Management

Monthly billing runs on autopilot. You receive operational reports, exception alerts, and collection summaries. We handle resident inquiries, disputes, and move-in/move-out prorations.

Two Ways to Work With Nexus

Full-service billing is the primary path for properties that want the process handled for them. Portal setup is available for landlords and smaller portfolios that need a branded billing/payment system.

📋

Built From Utility Billing & Accounting Experience

Nexus combines utility billing operations, accounting discipline, resident ledger visibility, and automation-minded workflows to help properties bill more clearly and report with confidence.

Automation-First Architecture

Structured workflows help reduce manual entry, standardize calculations, flag exceptions, and keep billing documentation organized.

🔒

Compliance Built In

Billing workflows are designed to support A.R.S. § 33-1314.01 considerations, resident notices, billing math, documentation, and applicable Arizona utility billing requirements.

📱

Modern Resident Experience

Residents receive clearer billing details, payment visibility, and a more modern billing experience designed to reduce monthly questions.

💰

Improved Cost Recovery

Nexus helps identify missed charges, unusual usage, billing exceptions, and recovery gaps so properties can improve utility cost recovery over time.

📊

Owner-Grade Reporting

Owner-ready reporting helps clarify charges, payments, balances, adjustments, recovery trends, and billing exceptions.

🗂️

Audit-Ready Documentation

Every billing cycle is structured around the math, rate tables, source data, notices, adjustments, and calculation logic needed to support future tenant questions, disputes, or audits.

🤝

No Long-Term Contracts

Flexible service options are available. Standard setup fees may be waived for eligible monthly billing workflows.

Why Multifamily Operators Are Switching

Property teams are moving away from rigid, one-size-fits-all billing workflows because they need clearer recovery math, compliance-aware documentation, and faster support.

RECOVERY ACCURACY

The math has to reconcile.

Manual billing, flat allocations, and disconnected spreadsheets can leave recovery gaps. Nexus reviews source utility costs, billing rules, missed charges, adjustments, and exceptions so each cycle is easier to audit and explain.
COMPLIANCE SECURITY

The legal details matter.

Utility billing is sensitive. Nexus builds workflows around lease language, utility addendum support, Arizona billing requirements, clear resident statements, documentation, and correction processes.
CUSTOM FLEXIBILITY

Your portfolio is not generic.

Standard software can feel rigid. Nexus can support full-service billing or create a custom property billing portal around your portfolio, reporting needs, resident payment workflow, and internal process.
