The renters have a right to request and inspect the master utility bills. Charging administration fees are not allowed.

Oregon Submetering

The laws that govern the use of submeters in the state of Oregon are quite long and detailed. And while submetering is allowed in certain situations, there are a few restrictions that you must be aware of. For example, subject to the policies of the utility or service provider, a landlord may, except as provided in subsections (2) to (5), provide for utilities or services to tenants by one or more of the following billing methods: A relationship between the tenant and the utility or service provider in which: (A) The provider provides the utility or service directly to the tenant’s space, including any utility or service line, and bills the tenant directly; and (B) The landlord does not act as a provider. Multifamily Utility, one of the leading utility submetering and billing companies in the state of Oregon, will work with you to ensure your submetering system meets the needs of your property. We are constantly monitoring all local, state and national laws to ensure every system we install is in line with what is required by the state of Oregon. We work directly with property owners, managers and developers to promote conservation, increase property values, improve cash flow and reduce administrative burden through the installation of code compliant submetering systems. Our specialty is the submetering and allocation of water, gas and electric utilities for various property types such as student housing, military housing, condominiums, apartment buildings, mobile homes and commercial properties to name a few. Some of the services we provide include Submetering Design, Installation, Maintenance & Ongoing Service, Utility Expense Management, Customized Ratio Utility Billing Systems (RUBS), Billing & Collections and Meter Maintenance & Compliance.
