Livable Utility Billing Guide

Livable provides utility bill ingestion, allocation, resident billing and support for rental properties. Current product materials describe occupancy, square-footage, fixed, submetered and custom allocation methods, resident access to allocation details and underlying bills, and final-statement estimation with daily proration. RentBillCheck uses those details to reconstruct how a charge was produced.

What to check on a Livable bill

  • Underlying utility bill and total property expense
  • Resident allocation table and weighting
  • Custom tenant fees or utility opt-outs
  • Final statement estimation and daily proration
  • Adjustments, spike alerts and statement history

Specific Livable billing guides

Reconstruct the Livable calculation from the source records

  • Identify the allocation method used at the property.
  • Obtain the property bill or provider record available through the resident workflow.
  • Compare the resident allocation table with occupancy, square footage, meter or other weighting inputs.
  • Separate any custom tenant fee from the utility allocation.
  • For move-out, identify whether the amount is an estimated final statement and how daily proration was applied.

Property configuration matters

Livable supports several allocation methods and both direct resident billing and property-management-system workflows. A branded statement therefore does not establish one universal formula; the property’s configured method is the key evidence.

Company page ≠ legal conclusion. A company billing page, regulator record or settlement does not by itself decide whether an individual charge is valid. Match the exact property, lease, billing method, dates, evidence and state/local law.
