so my friends and I are looking to move; we found a place that we liked, and it was originally a huge 5 bedroom single house and the landlord split it into two (not really a 'duplex', but i dunno how to call this monstrosity).
So now, the landlord is going to pay for water and trash, but with electricity, he never thought it through and don't know how to charge us for it.
What's a fair way to calculate it? It's only one meter and there is no accurate way to discern the front unit and the back unit.
The only realistic way i can think of is to use a flat rate, but how to account for summer time when we are blasting AC all day? (we in South Cal, we do not brace for winter)
