RUBS billing ensures that utility costs are shared fairly among all tenants. This addresses a common issue with traditional billing methods like flat-rate billing, where everyone pays the same amount regardless of actual usage.
What is RUBS Billing?
RUBS is a proven method for distributing shared utility costs at properties served by a single master meter. Rather than billing residents based on individual meters, RUBS allocates the actual utility bill using a clear, predetermined formula.
Utility costs are divided proportionally using objective, approved criteria such as:
RUBS is commonly used to allocate water, sewer, trash, gas, electric, and select common-area utilities, particularly at communities where installing submeters is cost prohibitive or impractical.
When properly structured and disclosed, RUBS allows owners to recover utility expenses responsibly, encourage conservation, and provide residents with transparent, easy-to-understand billing.
