Phil Querin Q&A - Pass Through of Sewer Charges
Question. In 2011 we passed through sewer directly to our residents. It was previously included in the base rent. The total monthly sewer bill is $2,174.00. We have 62 spaces and we divided the $2,174 by that number to get $35.00 per month per resident.
We gave a 30-day notice stating the gross monthly amount of the sewer bill and the amount we were passing thru to each resident. In our Statement of Policy it says that the sewer is paid by the landlord but that we could change that with a reasonable notice at any time. Is there anything wrong in the way we handled this?

Phil Querin Q and A - Resident Demands to Plant Marijuana in Space For Medical Marijuana Business
Question: A resident whose business is a medical marijuana store in town has informed the manager that she plans on growing marijuana plants on the space. She has not indicated if this is for sale, medical, or her own use. The community has not updated their rules to implement a No Marijuana policy, but they do say that there are to be no businesses in the park. The rental agreement is several years old so it is mute on the issue of marijuana. What should the manager do? What are the landlord's rights?
