Current Essex materials publish separate schedules for markets such as California and Washington.
California materials describe separate utility billing and identify Conservice/RUBS at applicable communities.
Parking, storage and pet charges are identified separately from required charges where applicable.

State and property both matter
Essex uses state-level fee schedules, but some charges apply only at named communities. Read the applicability notes instead of treating every amount as portfolio-wide.
If utilities are the problem
- Identify whether the property uses direct billing, submetering or RUBS.
- Separate utility usage from service or administration fees.
- Keep the utility addendum and current Essex fee schedule.
- Use the RUBS calculator only to test disclosed allocation math, not legal validity.
