Phil Querin Q&A: Charging Late Fees For Overdue Sub-Metered Water Charges
Phil Querin Questions & Answers
Answer. Under the current law,[1]a landlord may unilaterally amend a rental agreement to convert to submetering by giving the tenant not less than 180 days’ written notice.

Enduring years of Landlord/Tenant Coalition, one of the most daunting tasks was demonstrating Landlords do not have safes' locked full of money. Financing options simply did not exist to fund mandatory sub-metering.
